The Jerusalem District Court ordered Irfaya to undergo a psychiatric examination at the request of his defense attorney after he was allegedly suffering from psychological problems.

Arafat Irfaiya, 29, recreated the scene and murder for the investigators, after confessing, yet his motive is still unknown.

The most obvious example of this demanding dichotomy, of course, is the conjunction of Yom Hazikaron (Remembrance Day) and Yom Ha’atzma’ut (Independence Day).
