Israel freed nine of ten suspects detained in connection with militant settler attacks on a US journalist and European diplomats, placing them under house arrest instead, a law firm representing settlers reported, Al-Monitor said.
The move came as part of an investigation into two separate incidents involving violence by settlers. The decision to release the detainees from custody while maintaining restrictions through house arrest marked a significant shift in how authorities were handling the cases.
