The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court extends the detention of 52 detainees suspected of rioting outside Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg’s home.
They will remain in custody until Wednesday at least as police continue investigating the riots.
The suspects were nabbed Wednesday night when a mob of extremists against Haredi conscription caused extensive damage to the outside of Sohlberg’s home in the West Bank settlement of Alon Shvut.
The rioters smashed windows and flower pots near the entrance to his house.
Sixty-five suspects were initially detained on a bus near Sohlberg’s house soon after the riots. Police stopped the vehicle before it could drive away.
Sixty-two of the detained suspects were brought to court for a remand hearing.
Ten suspects, including four minors, have since been transferred to house arrest, says Roy Politi, a lawyer for the suspects.
Police today arrested another suspect in the riots, a 26-year-old from Beit Shemesh, as he was driving in the West Bank.
