A resident of Moshav Magen Shaul in the Gilboa, Avi Nir (48), is accused of attacking another moshav member after the latter honked at him. The indictment filed with the Nazareth Magistrate's Court states that Nir slapped the complainant twice, strangled him with a chain worth 15,000 shekels until it tore, and threw stones at him that caused fractures in his hand. Subsequently, Nir called the complainant while he was being evacuated to the hospital and threatened him not to file a complaint. During his arrest, he went wild and fell down stairs. Nir's defense attorney, Adv. Idit Shino Amitai, stated that he is a "completely normative moshavnik" and the indictment is "very far-fetched."
