Parents of Attacked 15-Year-Old Seek NIS 120,000 Over Assault Video

The alleged attack

According to the statement of claim, the 13-year-old—identified by the pseudonym Lital—arranged to meet the 15-year-old, identified as Limor, after learning that Limor had been in contact with a boy. The claim alleges that Lital slapped Limor and that other teenagers surrounded her, pulled her hair and threw her to the ground. It further alleges that Lital struck Limor’s body and head while she lay on the ground.

Footage circulated on WhatsApp

The teenagers allegedly filmed the incident and distributed the videos through WhatsApp groups. The claim says this harmed Limor’s privacy, reputation and dignity and intensified her humiliation. Screenshots cited by Ynet also allegedly show Lital asking group members to delete chats in case police contacted them.

Police complaint and civil claim

Limor’s parents filed a police complaint, after which Lital and another alleged participant were questioned by the Be’er Sheva youth police department. The parents then brought a civil claim in the Be’er Sheva Magistrate’s Court, seeking NIS 120,000 and arguing that age should not provide immunity from the consequences of violence. The source does not identify a specific statutory cause of action, case number or filing date.

No court ruling yet

This report concerns allegations in a newly filed claim, not a judicial finding that the events occurred as alleged. The source does not state that the court has ruled on liability or compensation. The defendant’s family declined to comment.
