Palestinians held for not intervening in Old City stabbing are released

Six Palestinians arrested early on Tuesday for not intervening in a terror attack in the Old City of Jerusalem earlier this month have been released.

According to the Walla news website, an Israeli court accepts their testimony they did not manage to process what was happening in the 34 seconds between the stabbing on Sunday and the police arrival at the scene.

Two other Palestinians detained on the same grounds were released earlier on Tuesday.

Adiel Kolman, 32, a father of four, died of his wounds several hours after he was  knifed in the Old City’s Muslim Quarter by 28-year-old Abd al-Rahman Bani Fadel from Aqraba, near the West Bank city of Nablus.

Fadel was shot dead at the scene by police.
