Israel releases 9 suspects over West Bank attacks under court supervision
An Israeli court released nine of 10 suspects linked to attacks on European diplomats’ vehicles and American photojournalist Heidi Levin in the occupied West Bank, subject to judicial supervision. Four suspects were placed under house arrest, while Nadav Cohen Tzemah’s detention was extended.
An Israeli court ordered the release of nine of 10 Israeli suspects in a case involving attacks on European diplomats’ vehicles and American photojournalist Heidi Levin in the occupied West Bank.
The released suspects were required to post bail and provide financial guarantees. The court also ordered them to comply with summonses from the judicial authorities when necessary and rejected the police request to extend their detention.
Restrictions on entry to Palestinian villages in the West Bank
Four Israelis accused of attacking Heidi Levin were released under house arrest. A suspect accused of attacking the European diplomatic delegation was barred from entering the town of Taybeh for 180 days and other Palestinian villages in the West Bank for 30 days.
Nadav Cohen Tzemah’s detention was extended. The decisions were issued in judicial proceedings concerning violent incidents that took place over the weekend in the West Bank towns of Taybeh and Abu Falah.
Diplomats’ vehicles stopped on the road to Taybeh
On Oct. 17, vehicles carrying French, Belgian and Polish diplomats traveling to attend the Palestinian olive harvest were stopped near Taybeh by a masked and armed group of Israelis.
The windows of one of the diplomatic vehicles were smashed during the incident. The vehicles also carried the French and Belgian consul generals.
Most of Taybeh, northeast of Ramallah, is made up of Palestinian Christians. Attacks against Palestinians harvesting olives in the West Bank and journalists working in the area have also drawn attention.
Heidi Levin was injured in Abu Falah
American photojournalist Heidi Levin, who works for The Washington Post, was attacked and injured on Oct. 16 while covering the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah.
