Settler suspected of attacks on Palestinians released from house arrest, barred from West Bank
Dardik is suspected of involvement in attacks against Palestinians and other nationalist-motivated offenses, including a suspected attack in March.
Tal Yinon Dardik, a settler suspected of attacks on Palestinians, has been released from house arrest but barred from entering the West Bank, according to Maj.-Gen. Avi Bluth, the IDF Central Command Chief. Dardik is believed to have been involved in attacks against Palestinians and other nationalist-related offenses, including a suspected attack in March.
The Jerusalem District Court rejected Bluth's appeal regarding an administrative restriction order imposed on Dardik, but maintained the determination that Dardik poses a significant security risk and must remain under full house arrest. Judge Avraham Dan Rubin upheld a previous decision by the military appeals committee that the order against Dardik was justified, but ruled that he could not be forced to serve the house arrest specifically at his mother-in-law's home in the West Bank settlement of Adei Ad without the owner's consent.
Rubin explained that the initial assumption in the case was that Dardik poses a danger justifying full house arrest, noting that Dardik did not dispute this finding during the appeal before the District Court.
