What They Are Suspected Of

Investigators suspect that the detainees took part in a brawl with Eldar Dayan's group shortly before his disappearance. The source does not specify the acts attributed to each of the four suspects.

Allowing the names to be published means only that the ban on disclosing them has been lifted; it does not establish the detainees' guilt. It is important for people in similar situations to distinguish between suspicion, detention, and conviction. The cited source speaks only of suspicions and does not mention any conviction.
