Despite the lack of severity of the charges against him and his young age, the GSS issued an order prohibiting him from meeting with an attorney and an gag order on the details of the interrogation. At the deliberation the police demanded a 10-day remand extension, which the court reduced to six days.
On the same afternoon a deliberation took place on the case of an additional minor, an approximately 15-year-old Shomron resident who had been detained at his home the previous day. He is also charged with graffiti and puncturing car tires. He is allowed to meet with an attorney, but has not been informed of the incident of which he is suspected.
