Two people have been arrested for making threats on Facebook against the military judges who delivered a guilty verdict against a young soldier in a manslaughter trial that has polarised Israel.<br /><br /> The identities of the suspects are unknown. One, a 54-year-old man from Jerusalem, wrote that chief judge Colonel Maya Heller would not finish her year.<br /><br /> The other, a 22-year old woman from Kiryat Gat posted “Take a grenade and blow up the judge. Scatter all of her parts in different places: let the dogs eat her”. <br /><br /> Gavriel Tronishvili, the lawyer for the male suspect, said that his client had admitted that he had made a mistake, had removed the post, and posed no threat.<br /><br /> Both suspects were released on house arrest, with restrictions placed on their internet use and movements. The woman is not allowed to make any attempt to contact Colonel Heller.<br /><br /> #IsraeltheRegion #IsraelInside #ElorAzaria #MayaHeller #housearrest Man who threatened Azaria judges released to… https://t.co/WEncGzkVjb— Israel News (@IsraelNewsNow) January 5, 2017<br /> <br /><br /> The unanimous verdict against Sergent Elor Azaria, 20, sparked violent clashes between police and far right groups as it was read out at a Tel Aviv military base.<br /><br /> Since then over 8,000 online threats have been made causing the three judges in the case to be placed under armed guard.<br /><br /> A poll by Israel’s Channel 2 found that 67% of Israelis, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, support a pardon for the soldier.<br /><br /> The family of the dead Palestinian said that the verdict was a good start.
