ILYan Shemla, a resident of southern Israel, was arrested on Monday and remains in custody pending further investigation into allegations that he intentionally contaminated baby fruit-puree jars with sedative drugs at two Zol Begadol supermarkets in Jerusalem. Police claim there was a breakthrough in the case, leading to his arrest. The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court extended his detention until September 6 based on 'significant' reasonable suspicion of his involvement. Shemla's attorney, Zecharia Shenkolevsky, stated that his client has a mental health condition and is in a complex psychological state, emphasizing the need to protect his rights during the investigation. The charges against Shemla include endangering life by using poison, theft, and negligent handling of medication.
