Hebrew media reports offer new information on the alleged gang rape of a teenage girl in Eilat which has shocked the country.

According to the reports, the main suspect, 27, hit on the 16-year-old girl at the hotel pool and was spurned, with the teenager noting he was too old for her.

Several hours later, when the girl was not feeling well after drinking alcohol, he offered help and claimed to be a medic. He then led the girl to his hotel room and raped her, the reports say.
