Lawyers for suspected Jewish extremists appeal to see their clients

Lawyers for the three suspected Jewish extremists wanted in connection with a possible terror attack have asked a Lod District Court to allow them access to their clients.

The three minors were arrested Sunday in a major investigation into a security incident, though much of the case remains under gag order.

The Shin Bet security service has refused to grant them visits from counsel, according to legal aid group Honenu, which is representing two of the suspects.

Honenu reports that the security service has refused to update the suspects’ families regarding there well-being or whereabouts.

Following the Lod hearing, the three  will be brought before the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court for a remand hearing.

The investigation is being conducted jointly by the Shin Bet security service and the police’s nationalistic crime unit.
