Police have announced their intention to file a first-of-its-kind indictment against one of the suspects involved in the violent riots in the Palestinian town of Hawara, about two and a half weeks ago, as reported by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio). The incident, which occurred on June 6, saw Israeli citizens allegedly assault Palestinian residents. The police had previously arrested six suspects in the case, including an active-duty IDF soldier. The court has now ordered the release of some of the other detainees, a decision the Samaria District Police intends to appeal. The district police also stated that additional arrests are expected. This marks the first criminal indictment in the investigation, which has been covered extensively by The Zioneer as a test case for law enforcement handling of settler violence in Judea and Samaria.
