Court extends remand of suspect in IDF incitement case
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Tiberias Magistrate’s Court extends the remand of a 40-year-old Jerusalem man suspected of inciting violence against Maj. Gen. Moti Almoz to protest his efforts to draft religious men and women into the army.
A statement from police spokeswoman Luba Samri says the suspect will be remanded in custody until Thursday.
An appeal for his release filed by the suspect’s legal attorney was rejected by the court.
Earlier this year, extremist ultra-Orthodox protesters threatened Almoz’s life, distributing hate-filled flyers comparing him to Hitler and likening army service to Auschwitz.
