Prosecutors notify four settler youths, who were involved in a car chase more than a year ago that led to the death of a fifth teen, that they are to be indicted for hurling stones at Palestinians, subject to a hearing.
The indictment would charge the four suspects with a racially motivated “terror act” of hurling throwing stones at Palestinian vehicles, and driving without a license, the prosecution letter reads.
Ahuvia Sandak, 16, was killed in a crash while fleeing from police in December 2020, shortly after the alleged attack on Palestinian drivers.
The letter says the suspects, including Sandak, took stones “about the size of a fist” and hurled them a Palestinian vehicle traveling some 90 kilometers (56 miles) per hour near the settlement of Kohav HaShahar. One stone shattered the windshield, and another caused damage to the car’s body, prosecutors charge.
