A Jewish suspect who shot an Arab municipal worker in Jerusalem has been released to house arrest despite the lack of justification for opening fire. The victim was attacked by a mob of young Jewish extremists who chanted 'Death to Arabs.' The suspect ordered the victim to drop to the ground before shooting him, in violation of open-fire regulations. The judge excused the suspect's actions, citing the ongoing war as a reason for tension.
