The two minors nabbed in the second round of arrests as part of the Shin Bet’s investigation into Aisha Rabi’s murder met with their lawyers for the first time this afternoon.
Following their Saturday night arrest, the Shin Bet issued an order barring them from meeting with their attorneys.
Israeli law allows authorities to delay by up to 21 days an attorney visit for an individual arrested in a terrorism-related crime.
The two suspects who are being allowed counsel visits today had been initially detained last Thursday during a settler protest against the arrests of the first three suspects. They were released that night before being rearrested two days later.
The three other suspects were allowed to meet with their attorneys for the first time on Saturday night, nearly a week after their arrest.
On Sunday, the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court extended the remand of all five suspects until Thursday.
