Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to the Shin Bet's announcement regarding suspicions against minors who were arrested.

"The timing of the publication shows the pressure the Shin Bet is under; it seems the case is crumbling in their hands and there's no evidence against the children, therefore an hour before the lawyers' press conference, the Shin Bet tries to spoil the party.

"The suspects maintained silence in their interrogation, were severely manipulated, and are in serious trauma, and no spokesman's announcement can divert the issue."
