Four days later, on Dec. 13, Barghouti carried out the shooting attack at the Givat Asaf junction, where soldiers Yuval Mor Yosef, Hy”d, and Yosef Cohen, Hy”d, were killed, and another soldier and civilian were wounded.

The court ordered the detention of the terrorist until the end of proceedings.
