The names of three suspects charged in the incident in which flares were set off near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home were released for publication, the Rishon Lezion Magistrate Court announced Tuesday evening.

Following a request made by Ofer Doron, Amir Sadeh, and Itai Yafe's lawyers, Judge Menachem Mizrachi approved the publication of their names as suspects in the incident.

Mizrachi emphasized that the ban lifted on the publication of three of the four suspects was indefinite. This, according to the judge, was because the investigative team reported they would not request to postpone the decision.

Suspended Rear Admiral

Of the three names released, Rear Admiral Ofer Doron served as the commander of the Space Division at Israel Aerospace Industries, according to Maariv.

During the demonstrations against the judicial reform, Doron announced his resignation in protest against the reform, which led the Navy Commander David Saar Salama and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi to suspend him.
