01 · THE DISPATCH

The complainant in the case against two Magen David Adom volunteers has provided new details of the alleged assault, telling investigators she felt disoriented after alcohol was brought to her home and found bloodstains on her bed the next morning. One of the suspects was released under restrictive conditions following a court hearing on Thursday, while the other remains in custody pending a decision, according to reports.

The Zioneer first reported the arrests on Thursday at 13:01 Jerusalem, citing Ynet's initial publication, which placed the incident in the Jerusalem area. Subsequent updates confirmed the location as Beit Shemesh and that the alleged incident occurred approximately nine months ago. Later reports by N12 added that the suspects knew the victim from shared volunteering, met at her home, and brought alcohol. The current account adds the victim's description of disorientation and bloodstains, and the outcome of the remand hearing.

The second suspect's custody status remains unresolved, with the court yet to issue a decision. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the case proceeds.
