An unusual confrontation was recorded during the remand extension hearing of a 28-year-old man from Rahat, suspected of involvement in a murder that occurred about a week earlier during a deadly brawl between families in the city. His attorney, Adv. Abu A'bad, attacked the police representative, Chief Inspector Levin, with tough questions about the evidence, but the latter refused to answer some of them and referred the court to the investigation file and a secret report. The attorney argued that the suspect was arrested based on baseless intelligence information, and that objective evidence, including security camera footage, does not incriminate him. Judge Yamini of the Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court rejected the release request, but ruled that the evidentiary basis relies on intelligence information, and ordered a five-day remand extension for investigative purposes.
