Suspects were arrested (Jews!) The investigation is carried out in cooperation between the General Security Service, the Israel Police and the Prosecution of the State. The rest of the investigation, including the identity of the detainees, is under a gag order.
Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir: "He is not allowed to be seen, he is not brought to court hearings, he is hidden in the cellars of the GSS (Shabak), after it turned out that during his arrest he was beaten and attacked."
Attorney Hai Haber, representing another detainee on behalf of the organization, said: "My client was held for eight days without seeing his lawyer or his family and even a judge."
Attorney Adi Keidar, who represents some of the detainees: "We have no ability to relate to the matter, the suspicions and the evidence that exists or does not exist against the suspects. What we can say clearly and precisely is that during the past week, the State of Israel, through all the heads of the law enforcement agencies, the Shin Bet security service, the prosecution and the courts, joined forces and throughout this week, violations of the law and violations of human rights were committed, They made Kosher every nonkosher insect to enable this investigation. "

On Friday morning, Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan addressed the investigation into the arson attack in the village of Duma, in which three members of the Dawabsha family were killed, and said that the security forces had insufficient evidence to prosecute the young Jew who were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the act. We are doing everything to also have [...] evidence that will allow prosecution

The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) called on the Justice Ministry to examine whether GSS interrogators violated the law during an investigation into Jewish youths suspected of setting fire to the Dawabsha family home in Duma village. [That is, we can demand from the Ministry of Justice a clarification of the torture! It's only the first thing. The second is the length of detention (endless and the torture].
The report of defense attorneys on the act of terror in the village of Duma regarding the interrogation of the GSS raises grave suspicion of the use of illegal interrogation methods, such as the use of physical force and sleep deprivation for hours.

Dozens of religious Zionist rabbis call for the establishment of a committee of inquiry into the conduct of the GSS, in view of the reports of the torture of the youths by the GSS

Haim Levinson, Ha'aretz: The GSS admitted that it used certain practices of torture in interrogating suspects ... He explained that the unusual measures were intended to prevent future murders, and made it clear that they had received legal backing, and that one of the suspects( Elisha Odess) had tried to commit suicide and even showed the female Judge slits on his arms. However, the Shin Bet refrained from addressing the accusations of the suspects and their attorneys regarding the various practices of torture: tying in painful positions, slapping, tightening handcuffs to the point of pain, and sleep deprivation.
The Kol HaYehudi, Dec. 31, 2015
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein authorized the torture of the GSS interrogators in a manner that is "personal and concrete", the Haaretz newspaper reported Thursday, citing sources close to the investigation.
According to the report, Weinstein gave his authorization to investigate using torture three weeks prior, after he was informed that the suspects were silent in their interrogation and the investigation was stuck. It was also reported that even though the General Security Service is subordinate to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the head of the Shin Bet also meets with him every week, Netanyahu has been updated about the use of torture only after the fact, after they had already been used against the interrogees.
This contradicts Supreme Court Justice Elyakim Rubinstein's ruling that the Attorney General can not allow GSS interrogators to use torture and physical means, but only to inform the interrogators of what they can do so as not to be prosecuted.

Shaked rejected the criticism against her for meeting with relatives of detainees in the Duma affair. "As Minister of Justice, if allegations of violations of the rights of interrogees are brought to my attention it is incumbent of me to clarify this. I clarified it with the Legal Counsel of the Government (Weinstein!!!) and the head of the Shabak and see that it was all done according to the Law.
