Rabbi Abraham Hamdi, 76, and his 35-year-old son Yehia were today acquitted by a military court of being connected with an illegal arms store discovered by police in the Jerusalem suburb of Givat Shaul last August.
The arms were located in a tin shanty owned by Rabbi Hamdi and attached to his home. The structure housing the arms dump was eventually demolished by British ## as a punitive measure.
