•Court: Tel Aviv District Court
•Damage to the car: approximately 80,000 shekels
•Location of the incident: Ramat Gan
•The alleged offenses include weapons offenses, damage to a vehicle and two incidents of making threats

Family Dispute and Threats

The main defendant and the complainant are former partners and have a child together; at the time, they were undergoing divorce proceedings, and the woman was living with her son in Ramat Gan. According to the indictment, the man threatened to destroy her business and her social media page and to harm her and her father. The prosecution also claims that the remarks about “Holon 2” referred to a car explosion in June on the Ayalon Highway, in which Lia Malka Cohen was killed. The next day, according to the indictment, the man told the woman that she soon “would not be a mother.”

The Alleged Conspiracy

The prosecution alleges that the former partner reached an agreement with another man to damage the woman’s car and throw a grenade at the building where she lived. That man, in turn, recruited another person. Several weeks later, according to the case materials, two of the defendants met at night in a parking lot in Netanya, took a motorcycle belonging to another person, a screwdriver, gloves and other items, and traveled to Ramat Gan.

The Damage to the Car and the Grenade

According to the indictment, the men approached the car twice: they struck it with an object and a hammer and also kicked it. The rear window and side windows were shattered, the windshield was damaged, and the side mirrors were broken; the prosecution estimates the damage at approximately 80,000 shekels. About ten minutes later, a stun grenade was thrown at the entrance to the building, after which the defendants fled and returned the motorcycle to its owner.

The Charges Filed

Each of the three men is charged, in accordance with his alleged role, with weapons-related offenses as well as malicious damage to a vehicle. The former partner was additionally charged over two incidents of making threats. The source reports only the filing of the indictment: the court has not yet issued a ruling regarding guilt or punishment, and the case number, exact filing date and specific statutory provisions were not stated.

What this means for you

The article shows that threats made during a separation may form the basis for a separate criminal charge, while the alleged organization of property damage and use of a grenade may lead to additional charges. However, the indictment presents only the prosecution’s position: the court must determine the guilt of each of the three men.
