Six teens from Ashkelon, some only 14 years old, planned and carried out a particularly violent robbery against a foreign worker. According to exclusive footage published on Channel 14, the teens ambushed the victim in bushes at the entrance to a neighborhood in the city. Two waited on the road while four hid among the bushes. When the worker arrived on an electric bike, they attacked him, beating him with stones and sticks, and stole the bike and his personal belongings. A passerby suspected something was wrong and alerted the police. Officers from the Ashkelon station of the Lachish district managed to close the case that same day, arrested the six suspects, and filed serious indictments against them. The report notes that the robbery was carefully planned and raises the need for systemic treatment of youth violence.
