A special meeting was held in Beit Shemesh on Monday, 9 Tammuz involving the Beit Shemesh police chief and senior city officials. The meeting surrounded the fact that some of the suspects in custody in the murder of Muhmad Abu-Khadir are residents of the city.
According to a Ladaat report quoting “a source present in the meeting”, authorities are concerned that left-wing extremists may decide to hold protests outside of the family home or even worse, attempt to attack family members. Therefore the decision was made that the family will relocate temporarily, until the anger diminishes somewhat.
For now the gag order prohibiting publication of the names of the suspects’ remains but when it is lifted, the identifying details of the family will be known to all and officials fear for their safety.

Their names should never be released because they should never have been arrested.
Good news ! If they are afraid for their safety that means they were not charedim !!
why release their names? Did the PA release the names of all the terrorists??
The “authorities” (whoever they are) are worried that
“left wing extremists” may confront the families of the six “right wing extremists” who have admitted they burned Muhmad Abu-Khadir alive. They are fortunate that EY has not already bulldozed the homes were these yiddeshe terrorists lived. Not sure they should be getting any special police protection.
#1 People who murder others are usually arrested when their identity is established. If a group of youngsters decided that a relative of yours was a suitable candidate for death by being setting on fire, I imagine you would be quite happy if the police interrogated those they thought might be responsible.

#1, why shouldn’t they have been arrested? They did something just as bad as the Arabs did to our boys. Just because a lot of Arabs are animals does not give us the right to pick out an innocent civilian and murder him in revenge. That is not our way. What these boys did is 100% wrong and huge chillul Hashem.
