A minor who was arrested Friday night for involvement in severe settler attacks against IDF soldiers at an illegal West Bank outpost in the Mount Hatzor region has been released from detention by the Petah Tikva Magistrate’s Court.

The individual will be confined to house arrest for five days and will then be banned from residing in the West Bank for a period of time.

Three other suspects detained in the Mount Hatzor incident were released from detention on Monday, after the Lod-Central District Court rejected a police appeal against a lower court decision to release the suspects.

Another two suspects who were arrested that night, both adults, remain in custody after their detention was extended until tomorrow.

Additionally, two residents of the Har Hatzor illegal outpost who returned to live there this week have been arrested.
