Hefetz told the court he was being allowed only few hours of sleep a night and was “exhausted,” according to Hadashot news.

He also claimed that when he felt unwell and asked to see a doctor, he was rebuffed by police.

“I collapsed on the cell floor, and only then did a medic come,” Hefetz told the court.
