The State Prosecutor's Office filed a precedent-setting indictment attributing offenses of negligent homicide and injury to the owner of a transportation company from Jerusalem, for his involvement in the murderous attack at the Tel Aviv-Jaffa light rail station.
The defendant instructed a company driver to transport illegal aliens from territories defined by law as belonging to the Palestinian Authority. Due to his gross negligence, the two terrorists who carried out the attack infiltrated the attack, in which seven people were murdered and many others were wounded.
The two drivers who actually drove the terrorists are charged with seven counts of reckless homicide and one count of aggravated battery. The drivers refrained from alerting others of their suspicions about the terrorists, who carried a backpack with Hebrew writing containing an M-16 rifle.
About a month ago, two Hebron residents, Ahmad Abd Fattah Harbi Haymuni and Muhammad Masek, who had never held permits to enter Israel, infiltrated with about ten other Palestinians and carried out a major terrorist attack.
That same day, the owner of the transportation company received an invitation to transport about 13 passengers, whom he was asked to pick up from a place near the separation fence in Sur Baher (East Jerusalem) and instructed his driver to make the transfer, knowing that they were prisoners whose entry was forbidden.
