The soldier who was attacked in Susiya and whose weapon was stolen was summoned today (Monday) for additional testimony at the request of the military prosecution. This comes ahead of the filing of indictments against the four suspects in the attack and the theft of the weapon. Upon completion of the investigation of the suspects and the required procedures, the investigation materials will be transferred to the military prosecution, which is expected to make a final decision regarding the charges. Security officials estimate that an indictment will be filed against the four for their actions. In an interview with 'Ha'Ulpan Ha'Patuach', the soldier's mother spoke about the lost sense of security: 'My son essentially reached a place where he did not have the right to defend himself. They came at him with various threats, beat him, and injured him, and in the end he was afraid and did not feel safe using his weapon – which truly was what could have protected him and prevented everything that happened to him.'
