The Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court extended by five days the detention of the 21-year-old from Jatt, suspected of attempted murder on nationalist grounds in Ramat Gan of Gedalyahu Ben Shimon, chairman of the city's religious council, on March 15. The suspect, a pharmacy student, continues to deny any connection to the stabbing. At the court hearing, a police representative argued that 'the suspicion has strengthened' since the previous hearing, following the collection of additional testimonies and evidence linking the suspect to the incident.
