The Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court orders three suspects accused of firing flares toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home held in custody for five days.

The police and Shin Bet had asked for them to be held for 12 days.

A gag order prohibits publishing any details of the investigation or the suspects’ identities for 30 days. However, Hebrew media reports say they are senior members of the anti-government protest movement.
