The Supreme Court lifted a gag order on Sunday, allowing official publication of the name of Border Police officer Chananel Sbag, who is accused of negligently shooting and killing soldier Yosef Ravuch on the eve of Sukkot 2025. Sbag faces charges of negligent homicide, recklessness and negligence with a weapon, and illegal possession of a weapon.
The incident was first reported by ynet at 15:15 Jerusalem, identifying Sbag as the suspect. The court's decision, published at the same time, confirmed the name and added the charges of illegal weapon possession, as reported by N12. The case has drawn attention due to the involvement of a security force member in the death of a fellow soldier.
The Zioneer reported on Sunday that the Supreme Court allowed publication of the name. The circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation, and judicial proceedings are ongoing.
