Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo suspects, one of them a minor, have been arrested on suspicion of raping a 14-year-old girl in the southern city of Eilat, Hebrew-language media reports.
According to the Ynet news site, the two suspects, 19 and 17.5, residents of Sderot, are accused of sexually assaulting the girl during a summer vacation.
The outlet says police received a complaint last month after the girl, a resident of Eilat, was found to need a lengthy medical procedure as a result of the assault.
The two suspects are expected to appear in court in Eilat later today for a hearing on their detention.
On Monday, in a separate case, eight were sentenced over the gang rape of a 16-year-old in Eilat in 2020 in a case that shocked the country.
