The Jerusalem District Court has ordered the release of bus driver Fakhri Khatib to house arrest following his involvement in a fatal incident during a protest. Khatib had been accused of fatally ramming 14-year-old Yosef Eisental during a violent demonstration, with charges initially set as aggravated murder before being reduced to manslaughter.
