The suspect in Friday's attack on activists from the Democrats movement at Tel Aviv's HaTikva Market was released to house arrest until Thursday, after the district court rejected a police appeal against the decision. The suspect, who has not been named, is accused of slapping protesters. The attack occurred as part of a series of violent incidents at political demonstrations in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, several suspects in similar cases have been released to house arrest, often under restrictive conditions, drawing criticism from law enforcement. The pattern includes a suspect who pointed a gun at protesters and another who struck demonstrators on a highway, both released to house arrest.
