Prosecutors plan to indict a 14-year-old Palestinian girl who stabbed a Jewish woman in Jerusalem last week.
According to police, the girl planned the morning of the attack to carry out the stabbing, and followed her target — 26-year-old Moriah Cohen — for several minutes before stabbing her in the back in the flashpoint Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood where they both live.
Cohen — who was with her children at the time, who were unharmed — was treated at the hospital and released the same day. The stabber fled the scene and hid out in her school, where she swapped clothes with a friend. The friend is also expected to be indicted, say police.
The attacker’s remand has been extended for an additional five days until Monday, when she is expected to be indicted.
