Summary of the defendant's testimony:
The defendant testified in his defense on 22 April 2026. He said he worked in the Dodge with his brothers at a company that assembled sheds owned by his father. He used to deliver work items to the Dodge Dodge. He drove the Dodge many times before the incident, when he claimed that on one occasion a police officer caught him and did not give him a fine. His driver's license is for a vehicle up to 4 tons. That's not enough to drive a Dodge, but it's "only a difference of 200 kilograms." His brother Karim also drove a Dodge and had an accident with him in the past. In his cross-examination, he confirmed that he had a Class B driver's license, meaning he was allowed to drive a vehicle weighing up to 3.5 tons.
He also testified that he had strabismus in his eye from an early age. He had surgery in the Occupied Territories because his eye was 'not well'. During the interrogation, he asked to be examined so that they would see that "I have strabismus in my eye, which the eye does not see at all" (p. 314). On the day of the accident, he drove to Lakiya and then to Be'er Sheva, and from there he drove his Toyota Avensis to the place where the cars were washed. During the wash, "I pressed the gas pedal."
The deceased asked him why he was pressing the gas pedal, and the deceased also spoke to Tawfiq, the owner of the wash. Tawfiq said to the deceased, "Every time you close the wash for me, and you want to close it again today." Tawfiq kicked the deceased out of the wash. The deceased came out and then went in again and wanted to hurt Tawfiq, and they quarrelled. He separated them and while they were arguing, they broke the windshield of his car. He didn't say anything, and everyone who was there said that the windshield had to be repaired for him. He left the scene and went back to his house. According to him, it is not true that he had a fight with the deceased. According to him, Tawfiq said this to the police "to get out of this whole story"; Because of which the quarrel occurred. For he, the two of them quarrelled" (p. 318).
