State extends detention of Jewish extremist Meir Ettinger

The state extends the administrative detention of Jewish extremist Meir Ettinger for another four months, after receiving approval today from Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon.

Ettinger, the grandson of murdered far-right rabbi Meir Kahane, is suspected of involvement in attacks on non-Jewish targets in Israel. He has been on hunger strike for about two weeks to protest his detention.
