It should be noted that the transcript of the reconstruction (P/21A) was accompanied by an action report prepared by the interrogator Elad Avraham. According to what was stated in it, during the reconstruction, the witness told him the following: "When he was working on the roof of the refrigerators (sic) and was with his back to the incident, he heard shouting and his son, who was in front of the incident, told him to see, and when he looked, he saw a man lying on the ground and another person coming from inside the pergola, making a movement of opening a knife and lying on the person on the ground and committing a number of stabbings. He claimed that at that time, Y.A. called the police and was in front of the incident at a direct and not long distance and shouted the name of a person with the letter "M" and did not remember the name and said, 'Leave him, leave him.'" A.W.).
His testimony in court was heard at the hearing on 28 November 2021. The witness began by describing the circumstances of his arrival at the roof of the neighboring house, when, according to him, while he was hunched in the refrigeration unit, which was as high as a table, and there was a very loud noise, his son grabbed his shoulder and said he would look, "what was he doing to him?" The witness came out of the cold room, turned around, and saw "a man lying down, smeared with blood" (pp. 102, s. 16). At this point, he said, there were no more stabbings, but he saw the stabber and the stabber, from a distance of 10 meters, in "ideal" conditions, and with "excellent" vision, as he put it. He also said that he saw someone coming and making a movement of opening a knife (from the side of his stomach, which he had demonstrated to the court while explaining his drawings), for a split second. He clarified that he did not see the knife itself, but rather the act of opening it, which resembled opening a knife. He ordered his son to come down from the roof, and shouted to Y.A. to call MDA. Before he came down himself, the witness turned around and saw a "difficult sight," as he defined it, a wounded man lying on his back, and then making repeated stabbing motions towards the chest of the bleeding wounded man (which he also demonstrated to the court. p. 108, paras. 7-8). The witness estimated that he had seen 2-3 stab wounds in the upper body - chest and neck, with the stabbed victim lying on his back on the ground and the stabber on top of him. At the time of the stabbings, the stabbed man muttered something (in the cross-examination he clarified that it was apparently a request for help), but the witness did not hear him, but rather Y.A., who shouted at the assailant "Mori" or "Maori", "Stop, stop", and reported to MDA about a stabbing incident at the site (p. 119, paras. 15-16. At the end of the witness's main interrogation, he described Y.A. In those minutes, with the words "agitated", "very frantic" and "excited" - pp. 414, s. 23 and p. 142, s. 4). A few minutes later, he arrived at the front of the house with the car, and when he saw that there was a bleeding man being treated on the street, he told his son that it was probably the same wounded man they had seen in the house next door. The witness confirmed to the court that when he saw the stabber open the knife, the person under him was already covered in blood, and estimated that from the moment he opened it until the stabbing, about a minute had passed (p. 121, s. 19). When asked from what places in his body the stabbed man was bleeding, he replied, "The chest, the hands, the head. It was all full of blood. It was all blood" (p. 123, s. 4). While the stabber was leaning over the upper part of his body, the stabbed man made a movement with his hand (which later, after refreshing his memory, he agreed that it was the left hand), in an attempt to move him away from him, from the middle of his body outwards (which the witness demonstrated to the court. p. 126, paras. 21-23). After further refreshing the witness's memory, from the statement he gave to the police, he confirmed that, apparently, the stabber was shirtless, and that the stabber was wearing dark pants. In his cross-examination, he confirmed to the defense that he had witnessed the incident for a total of four seconds, and in two different appearances. One - when he saw the stabber lying and bleeding, and the other - when he saw the stabber emerging from the direction of the pergola, he pulled out a knife (in the cross-examination, he explained, "I saw such an opening. Something, such a movement, at the waist level of the stabber. That's what I saw, that's the movement I saw", p. 163, paras. 8-9. And in the re-examination, he reiterated that it was, in his view, opening a knife), leaning in the direction of the stabbed victim and stabbing him. The witness also confirmed the defense attorney's definition that was offered to him, according to which his gaze in the direction of the incident was "short and fleeting", and asked for the definition to be precise, saying: "The gaze is not short to see, the gaze is short to recognize" (p. 14, 20). Although he said that he did not see the knife itself, but only the movement of its opening (p. 148, s. 12), he concluded that it was not glasses, or any other accessory, due to the amount of blood that flowed from the body of the stabbed person as a result of his use of it. To the question of whether he saw a counter-stabbing by the stabber towards the stabber, he replied in the negative (p. 161, s. 23). In his re-examination, the witness added that at the stage of the stabbing, he saw a movement "of slaughtering, of slicing", which was made from side to side in the neck area (p. 170, s. 24).
