Police release groom, 3 others arrested over ‘hate wedding’

31 December 2015, 6:34 pm Edit

Israel Police decides to release from detention the groom whose wedding was featured in a video clip showing dozens of far-right guests celebrating the Duma firebombing attack that killed three members of a Palestinian family in July.

Yakir Ashbel was taken in for questioning over his participation in the event, in which wedding-goers danced with guns, knives and a mock Molotov cocktail. Ashbel was brought Wednesday before a court, which decided to release him to house arrest.

Three other suspects held in connection to the wedding will be released in the coming hours as well.
