Beit She’an resident indicted on suspicion of attacking city’s chief rabbi last month
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA resident of Beit She’an, in northern Israel, has been indicted on suspicion of attacking the city’s chief rabbi last month.
The indictment filed this morning against the 44-year-old suspect charges that he physically attacked Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Lasri at the entrance to his own home on January 17 and then fled the scene.
Ynet reports that at the time, Lasri decided against pressing charges and instead handled the incident directly with the suspect’s family.
Nevertheless, an indictment was filed against the suspect by the Tiberias police department.
