The Jerusalem District Court ordered the immediate release of Tal Yinon Dardik, a suspect in a March attack on Palestinians, after 38 days in custody under administrative restraining orders. Dardik is accused of a brutal assault in Khirbet Humsa, a Palestinian village in the West Bank, which he denies. Despite his release, he remains restricted from most of the West Bank, except Modiin Illit, where he must report to police twice daily. The court acknowledged that an earlier administrative house arrest order for Dardik was "justified, proportionate and reasonable," and that he was "dangerous to the security of the region." The case has drawn attention due to Defense Minister Israel Katz's involvement, who reportedly visited Dardik in prison and initially sought to replace the IDF Central Command chief for extending restrictions on him.
