Woman raped by Palestinian in 2003 to be recognized as victim of terror
An Israeli woman who was raped by a Palestinian in the Netherlands over 15 years ago will be recognized as a victim of terror, the Defense Ministry says.
Recognition by the ministerial authority will enable the woman to receive state-funded support and welfare benefits from the National Insurance Institute’s department for terror victims.
The woman, who was in her 30s at the time, traveled to Holland in 2003 where she was assaulted and raped by Palestinian man. Her request to be recognized as a victim of terror was passed on by National Insurance Agency to the Defense Ministry at the end of 2018.
No further details about the assault or the victim is provided in the statement.
