According to the indictment, the two were planning to kill Rami Meira and Motti Hassin, with Ben Adi acting as the hitman and Sabah acting as the getaway driver.
The two are accused of firing at a group of people sitting at one of the promenade's restaurants. Lautin, who was caught in the crossfire, suffered fatal abdominal and chest injuries while trying to protect her daughter.
The State asked the court to remand both defendants to custody for the duration of the proceedings, citing they posed a danger to the public.
