State prosecutors will file an indictment tomorrow against a man suspected of sexually abusing a young girl since she was four years old, police say.
The suspect, from the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the West Bank, was arrested on December 23 after allegedly abusing the 10-year-old over a period of six years.
His remand was extended until tomorrow, but prosecutors are expected to request to keep the man in custody until the end of legal proceedings against him.
