An Israel Defense Force reservist drew a pistol and menaced two Arabs charged with murdering a soldier, at their trial in a Jenin military court Wednesday.
The man, identified as Binyamin Yishai, was a prosecution witness in the case against Yasser Abu-Rub and Mohammed Naji, members of a Black Panthers terrorist cell in the West Bank.
They are accused of firing from ambush at a military truck in the Jenin region six months ago, killing Sgt. Yoram Cohen. Yishai was driving.
He was overcome and disarmed in the court-house by two soldiers and a border policeman, and is being held in detention.
