The Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court extended by six days the detention of an 18-year-old Sderot resident suspected of arms trading that was used in an attempted murder. Police allege the young man is suspected of causing an explosive device detonation, conspiracy to commit a crime, and shooting from a firearm in a residential area. The police request to extend his detention by 15 days was not fully granted. His defense attorney, Adv. Cohen, argued that the suspect cooperated with investigators and that there is no reasonable suspicion justifying his detention. The judge ruled that there is reasonable suspicion and that his release could lead to obstruction of the investigation and influence on witnesses. The investigation is linked to a broader investigation into assassination attempts between organized crime groups.
