Hussein Dawabsha, the grandfather of the Palestinian baby killed in a 2015 Jewish terror attack, pleads that “justice be done in this case.”

“I would like to know what they decide today,” he says at the Central District Court ahead of its ruling on the admissibility of the Shin Bet’s confession from the suspects who have claimed they were tortured by the security service during their interrogations.

A decision to throw out the confessions would mark a significant blow for the prosecution, which is said to be under immense pressure to convict alleged assailants Amiram Ben-Uliel and an unnamed minor accomplice who were indicted in January 2016 for firebombing the home of the Dawabsha family on July 31, 2015.
