Soldier arrested for impersonating girl online, sexually abusing 13-year-old
A 20-year-old Israel Defense Force soldier has been arrested for serious sexual offenses against a 13-year-old boy, police say.

The soldier was arrested yesterday and his remand was extended by six days by the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court.
