According to the indictment, Yaffa kept a wide variety of weapons in his home: a Kalashnikov rifle with a magazine with matching ammunition, a submachine gun with ammunition and two cartridges, a stun grenade and a tear gas grenade.
In addition, 12 cartridges and ammunition were found in his home.
The prosecution stated in its request for detention until the end of the proceedings that it would consider agreeing to Yaffe's release to full house arrest under the supervision of custodians, posting bail, and depositing a weapon that the defendant holds with a license.
He was later released to house arrest.
His initial arrest followed an investigation that focused on suspicion of harassing the fighter during a left-wing demonstration against the government, but during the search of his home, a quantity of weapons was discovered, which led to the opening of another criminal proceeding - for which the indictment was filed today.
The police noted that the investigation materials related to the suspected harassment of the fighter were transferred to the Jerusalem District Attorney's Office for review, in order to make a decision on whether to take further action in this matter.
