Judiciary says window at Supreme Court building was shattered by airsoft gun or slingshot

The judiciary announces that investigators determined that a window at the Supreme Court that was shattered amid a right-wing protest on Thursday evening was damaged by an airsoft gun or a slingshot.

A statement from the courts says that investigators are working to track down suspects.

“This is an unusual, grave and unprecedented incident. The proximity to the demonstration held at the same time and the messages voiced during it against the Supreme Court are troubling,” says the statement.

The judiciary also says that if the window was shattered intentionally, “the matter must be treated with the necessary severity and those responsible must be brought to justice.”

“Harming the Supreme Court… crosses a red line and harms the basic values of Israeli democracy,” it adds.
