In an exclusive interview with i24NEWS, the wife of one of the fighters arrested yesterday (Sunday) on suspicion of sexual assault of a Nukhba terrorist said her husband was detained based on the words of a terrorist.
"It's a Shame, we have 3 children. Shame that they have to experience this. Since October 7th he is not at home- he feels he is on a mission for the country. Shame that he deserves this. The kids are asking when daddy is coming back - I have no answers. Nobody is talking to me. They abandon them," she said adding that her husband's father was murdered in a terror attack.

A lawyer of one of the suspects, Efraim Demri told i24 that the expected remand of the suspected reserve soldiers on Monday means the investigation has advanced and is not in the preliminary stages. "It fell on the suspects like a thunderbolt in a bright day, creating a situation where they are are treated like terrorists, these are bizarre suspicions, they didn't exist and were never created," Demri said.
