Minors

"For an expensive night at a club and a hotel stay with all the luxuries, there are boys today who will be willing to cooperate and do whatever is required of them," one figure said.

In one text message, he wrote to one victim: "Listen, today you only brought 700. Tomorrow bring me another 250 shekels, and we'll settle this, and if anyone bothers you, call me."

The suspect had presented himself as a 16-year-old on social media and utilized an image of a minor to contact 11- to 15-year-olds.

According to the indictment, the main defendant called on the complainants to approach him, after which the defendants allegedly subjected them to severe abuse for approximately two hours.

Shaulov and his passengers did not need to be taken to the hospital, Magen David Adom stated.

The investigation concluded after a two-week manhunt, during which police apprehended all individuals believed to have been involved in the violent altercation.

In an interview with 103FM’s Nissim Mishal and Anat Davidov, the school’s principal, Amir Les, added that the suspect had been released the same day, but “ won't be returning to the school at all."

Two minors and an additional suspect were arrested for their ties to the case. The police claimed to have known their identities and the fact that they participated in the attack against Zalka.

Police further said that two of the suspects were released to house arrest for 12 days, while the detention of six others was extended after they were brought to a court.

The lynching happened on November 2, involving eight minors, aged 14 to 16, who met with the victim at a Herzliya park and proceeded to attack him upon arrival.
