Yaakov Hershkowitz, the civilian filmed pointing a gun at demonstrators, was released to four days of house arrest under restrictive conditions, according to Israeli media. During his interrogation, Hershkowitz admitted aiming the weapon but claimed it was still in its holster. The case is separate from the ongoing Prinok baby puree contamination affair, which also saw developments today with the Health Ministry imposing restrictions on Jerusalem branches of the Zol VeGadol chain. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, the ministry ordered restrictions on two branches after finding sedative drugs in baby food jars — five infants were hospitalized but have since been released.
