A 16-year-old boy, a resident of Judea, was arrested today after two months on the run, suspected of attacking Wadad Mahamara, her infant granddaughter, and the family dog in Khirbet al-Marajim in Masafar Yatta, southern Hebron Hills. The footage was shared on social media and showed the boy entering a residential compound, pushing the two, and hitting the dog. The police opened an investigation immediately after the video was published and arrested him in a field in the southern region. He will be brought to court for a remand extension. The police stated they will operate with zero tolerance against violence. The Mahamara couple said the attack occurred in their home without reason, and that similar incidents have been happening in the area since October 7, although they are unrelated. They described a continuous sense of insecurity and daily pressure.
