The Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court has decided to extend the detention of Avichai Buskila, a supporter of the government, for an additional two days following his arrest for allegedly spraying motor oil on protesters against the government. Judge Asif Gil emphasized the serious nature of the incident, which has the potential to cause real bodily harm. He indicated that the act of aggression was not to be taken lightly and reflected a prior intention to confront the protesters.

Buskila arrived at the protest site in a vehicle with the phrase 'traitorous leftists' displayed, accompanied by others. The judge highlighted that the provocative message on the car indicated a premeditated intention to incite conflict with the protesters. While he acknowledged the fundamental right to protest, the judge stated that it does not permit acts of violence that threaten public safety and peace.

Witnesses from the protest, including Professor Chaim Marantz, reported on the injuries sustained, with Marantz stating that he initially thought the substance sprayed was water, only to discover that it burned significantly. He sought medical attention as a result. Another protest organizer noted that the vehicle with the inflammatory message had been a familiar presence at protests over the past few months, often appearing with a megaphone to confront demonstrators.
