A gag order remains in place in the ongoing investigation of this week’s stabbing attack of an IDF soldier in Ramat Gan. A suspect remains in custody but police have requested a court order banning publication of details.

Despite media agencies petitioning the court to lift the gag order, police persuaded the court the current media blackout is required towards permitting investigators to move ahead unimpeded.
