A soldier is in critical condition in the ICU at Petah Tikva's Belinson Medical Center following a club brawl a week ago.
The soldier, Zlalam Dasta, 20, is anaesthetized and connected to a respirator and his life is still in danger. Even though a week has passed since the incident, no suspects have been arrested in connection with the case though security footage from the club has led police to believe the perpetrators are Eritrean citizens.
