Who Was Arrested

On Friday, the police arrested the groom—Dr. Mousa Hassadiya, 31; his father, Nu’man Hassadiya, 55, the owner of a butcher shop; and DJ Mohammad Mahajna, 31. The police requested that their detention be extended by three days. All three were suspected of conspiracy to commit a felony in connection with the alleged firing into the air.

What Evidence Was Missing

At the hearing, the police representative acknowledged that the officers who arrived at the scene had not found shell casings or other signs of gunfire. The police relied on information in their possession and on complaints from residents of nearby Zikhron Ya’akov. Defense attorney Mohammad Mawasi argued that there was no evidence of the detainees’ involvement.

The Magistrate’s Court Decision

Haifa Magistrate’s Court Judge Farah Jubran-Miller reviewed the investigation materials and determined that there was no reasonable suspicion that the alleged acts had been committed. The court ordered the immediate release of all three. At the police’s request, implementation of the decision was temporarily stayed until 23:00 to allow an appeal to be filed.

The Police’s Application to the District Court

The police filed an appeal shortly before the deadline, arguing that additional investigative actions were required and that there was concern the detainees might coordinate their accounts. District Court Judge Inas Salameh ordered the detainees’ immediate release even before the appeal hearing and scheduled a hearing for the following morning. The final outcome of the appeal hearing itself is not stated in the source.

What this means for you

A report of possible gunfire alone is insufficient to justify continued detention if the materials presented do not establish reasonable suspicion against specific individuals. The court may also order release before hearing the police appeal; however, the source does not report the final outcome of the appeal in this case.
