Arab Who Stabbed Jew Released Within Less Than A Week

Attorney Chaim Bleicher from the Honenu organization sent a letter to IDF Central Command Chief Major General Yehuda Fuchs and Judea and Samaria District Police Chief Deputy Commissioner Uzi Cohen after he discovered that an assailant who stabbed a Jew who was shopping in the Arab village of Dir Qadis was arrested by police but released on restrictive conditions, Arutz Sheva reports.

In his letter, Bleicher describes the attack during which the Jew was stabbed: “My client traveled with two friends to go shopping in the village. While shopping, minorities who live in the area gathered around them and began cursing and pushing them. My client and his friends attempted to speak with the attackers, but they continued to yell, and one even threatened my client: ‘l’ll kill you.’ Later, more and more minorities came and stood around them, and a group of about five literally attacked the victim and his friends, kicking and punching them. At one point, one of the rioters pulled out a screwdriver and began stabbing my client in the head. When he noticed that he was being stabbed, my client grabbed his own weapon. This caused the rioters to back off, and my client’s life was saved at the last moment.”
