Woman arrested for allegedly throwing sand at Ben Gvir released to house arrest

A 27-year-old woman who was arrested yesterday for allegedly tossing wet sand at National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on a Tel Aviv beach has been released to house arrest.

“There’s nothing here, there’s really nothing here… I’m not convinced that there is a reason for the arrest,” Judge Menachem (Mario) Klein of the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court says at Noa Goldenberg’s remand hearing. We can settle for an alternative of 48 hours of supervised house arrest.”

During the hearing, dozens of activists protested outside the court against Goldenberg’s arrest.

Police had asked for Goldenberg to be remanded for another day on allegations including assaulting a public servant and preventing the police from carrying out its work.
