Court extends remand of suspected assailants

The Rishon Letzion Magistrate's Court extended by five days the remand of the two Israeli Arab girls suspected of stabbing a security guard at Ramle's central bus station on Thursday morning.

The investigation of the two is ongoing, and they appear to have been politically motivated to carry out the attack, police said.
