The defendant, Israel Grossman, was accused in the Jerusalem District Court of participating in the brutal beating of a Palestinian man who worked on a poultry farm between Jalud and Qusra, villages south of Nablus.

The victim, 32-year-old Zahran Shanabla, suffered serious injuries to the head and remains hospitalized and in a coma as a result of the attack in April.
