Prosecutor files statement against suspect in killing of attorney Arbel Feldman
Police said a serious indictment is expected in the coming days, together with a request to keep the suspect detained until the end of the proceedings.
A prosecutor has filed a statement against the individual accused of fatally shooting attorney Arbel Feldman at his Rishon Lezion office in August. The Central District Attorney's Office made the announcement following a completed investigation. Police anticipate a serious indictment and a request to detain the suspect until the conclusion of the proceedings, with the indictment expected on Wednesday.
The investigation commenced after a police officer received an emergency call reporting gunfire at Feldman's office on Moshe Levy Street. Upon arrival, officers found Feldman, who had been shot, and pronounced him dead at the scene. The suspect, known to Feldman, allegedly entered the office and shot the lawyer multiple times before fleeing the scene.
The suspect, a 20-something Ashdod resident, has been in custody since his arrest. His detention has been extended multiple times as the investigation progressed. The case was transferred to prosecutors after extensive evidence collection, analysis of surveillance footage, and additional investigative measures.
Feldman, a father of three, was remembered by friends and colleagues as quiet, courteous, and dedicated to his family. Lawyers and members of Israel Bar Association observed two minutes of silence outside courthouses across Israel in mourning for the attorney.
