Three Palestinians indicted for beating Jewish teen in West Bank village
Prosecutors have indicted three Palestinians who allegedly beat a Jewish teenager until he lost consciousness after he entered the West Bank village of Huwara earlier this year.
Police say the attack, which took place January 25, amounted to a lynching attempt and nearly resulted in the teen’s death.
The teenager “was violently attacked by several local residents. As a result of the attack the youth lost consciousness and the suspects assumed he was dead,” police add in a statement.
Border Police officers arrested six suspects, but only three of those detained have been charged so far. The investigation, conducted jointly by the Shin Bet and police, was completed at the end of last week.
