State prosecutors submit a preliminary statement to the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court announcing their intent to indict the prime suspect in the deadly stoning of a Palestinian woman.
Aisha Rabi, a 47-year-old mother of eight, was fatally struck on the head by a rock while driving in a car with her husband and daughter in the northern West Bank on October 12.

The Jewish teen suspected in throwing the killing rock was arrested on December 30 along with two other students from the Pri Haaretz yeshiva high school in the northern West Bank.
A week later, two more boys from the same boarding school were arrested.
The charges against the teen are expected to include terrorism.
In announcing the intention to indict, the State Attorney’s Office asks the court to extend the remand of the teen for an additional five days in order to provide time to submit the indictment. The court grants the request.
