Defense Ministry recognizes sexual assault as act of terror
The Defense Ministry recognizes a woman who was sexually assaulted as a terror victim for the first time, setting a precedent.
The victim, who was 14 years old when she was sexually assaulted by four Palestinian teens in the Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood of Jerusalem, will be eligible to receive recognition and financial assistance from the National Insurance Institute as a victim of a terror attack, according to the Walla news website.
