Zalka, 21, was killed last Tuesday, and the Petah Tikva Magistrate’s Court on Sunday extended the detention of the main suspect in his murder by five days.

Recently-released IDF soldier Yemanu Binyamin Zalka was stabbed to death outside the pizzeria after he finished his shift on Independence Day eve.

Dr. Alex Sinclair, a 53-year-old from Modi'in, wrote in a Facebook post that he was sitting at a café when a religious man began to shout at him that his kippah was "against the law."

The 48-year-old Slough man was arrested on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated assault and racially or religiously aggravated public order, and has been in custody since Thursday evening.

He has also requested that the A-G express her position regarding “someone who impersonates and uses a title that was not given to them in the Knesset."

Seven of the arrests were made in the past 48 hours and relate to a suspected conspiracy to commit arson, though the specific target or venue has not yet been identified.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir accused Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara’s office of trying to broaden last week’s interim ruling in the ongoing case.

Activists, including Mordechai David, Rami Ben Yehuda, and Sheffi Paz, attempted to break into the south Tel Aviv venue, where hundreds of people, including Oct. 7 victims' relatives, attended.

A 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were taken into custody overnight in connection with the incident, which occurred early on Sunday morning, the police said.

Zohar is considered close to Ezra Gabay, the businessman identified as a central suspect in the case.
