The Lod District Court has rejected an appeal by three Jewish minors arrested in a major security probe to meet with their attorneys.

The judge extended the order that has been in effect since the three suspects were arrested yesterday morning, but agreed to their attorneys’ requests that a probation officer check in on their well-being.

Shortly after the decision, the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court extended the remand of the three suspects until Sunday.

The investigation is being conducted jointly by the Shin Bet security service and the police’s nationalistic crime unit, which are probing the incident as a possible Jewish terror plot.
