Court Releases Bnei Brak Mohel to House Arrest in Infant Death Case

House arrest runs through April 9 under an ongoing negligent-homicide probe.

Overview

  • The Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court ordered the Bnei Brak mohel suspected in an infant’s death released to house arrest.
  • A police appeal failed, and the District Court kept the house-arrest order in place through April 9, 2026.
  • Police say they are still investigating suspected negligent homicide tied to complications from a circumcision.
  • Investigators have focused on a post-procedure infection and a doctor’s referral to the ER before the hospital pronounced the baby dead.
  • The mohel’s lawyer said the circumcision preceded the death by about three weeks and argued that weakens any claim of negligence.
