The investigation into the death of Eldar Dayan, may his memory be blessed, expanded this morning (Tuesday) with the arrest of four youths on suspicion of involvement in the brawl that preceded his disappearance and death. Two were arrested last night and two more this morning, bringing the total number of detainees in the case to six, including Dayan's two friends who were already in custody. The four are not new names in the case; they were questioned at the beginning of the investigation at the Petah Tikva station but were not arrested then. Now, after the handling of the case was transferred to the Sharon District Central Unit and additional findings were gathered, it was decided to arrest them. Later today they will be brought to the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court, where the police will request an extension of their remand. The investigators seek to re-examine the incident and the role of each of those involved in the moments preceding Dayan's disappearance. Omri Peretz and Maxim Barberman, Dayan's friends, remain in custody on suspicion of involvement in his death. The brawl is seen as an important point on the timeline, and investigators are trying to understand what happened there and in what condition Dayan left the scene.
