"Q:      You were interrogated yesterday and today.  Why tell the truth after a few hours and not in yesterday's interrogation??

A:        In the end, I also want you to make sure to catch this ammunition, Because in the end it will hurt the wrong people.  I'm risking something that's true that endangers me and my family, but I don't know what's going to be in the envelope in terms of ammunition..."

(p.  9, s.  263-265).

In another testimony dated July 13, 2016 (P/185), Shadi further stated that Adi stepped on his weapon once again when he came to his room (asking for the car keys) and that even at this stage the threat he felt was real:

"Q:      When and where was the next time Adi stepped on a weapon on you?

A:        On the day he stole the ammunition.

..

A:        After I found out he was in the bunker, He was unarmed at this point.  When I came back, He came back after half an hour or forty minutes, Something like that.  Came to my room with his weapon at this point.  There was also a cartridge in the insert.  He came into my room and stepped his weapon on me, Do this to me on the bed.  I mean I'm leaning on the bed, he's pointing his weapon at me.  I said to him, "Well, what do you want to shoot me after this threat?"? So he told me and I quote "I will shoot you and that's what you're worth, One Bullet".  I told him "Adi, it's not funny, Lower your weapons, Weapons don't play".  He says to me in Arabic.  "The Danak discovered that the skull of the coat of their father was in the weapon, please filled the weapon with the weapon of the mail of their father.".  And I'll translate "Just how you don't play with weapons, They don't play with me either.". 

(p.  2, paras.  19-28).

In Shadi's interrogation of July 17, 2016 (P/187), he continued to insist on his statements and his profanity regarding the manner in which things unfolded, and clarified about times, such as the time when the equipment was loaded from the bunker into the vehicle (5-6 minutes), and the unloading from the military vehicle to the other vehicles (5 minutes):
