Military prosecutors in Israel have filed an indictment against Staff Sgt. (res.) Aviad Frija for the manslaughter of Yuval Castleman, who was shot during a terror attack in Jerusalem last year. The indictment follows a comprehensive investigation by the military police and comes after a hearing. The charges state that Frija continued to shoot Castleman despite the latter raising his hands in a gesture of surrender after having previously killed two Hamas terrorists. The incident has drawn significant attention due to the circumstances surrounding Castleman's actions during the attack.
