Israeli police are reopening the investigation into the murder of Tair Rada, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Katzrin found dead in a school bathroom 20 years ago. The victim's mother, Ilana Rada, reacted for the first time to media reports, saying that no official authority had informed her—she learned about it from the press. The case has been transferred to the Central Unit of the Tel Aviv District Police; it is reported that 'new information' has been received, but its nature is not specified. Previously, Roman Zadorov, a school employee, was convicted in this case but was fully acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2023 and released, winning a multi-million shekel lawsuit against the state. Olga Kravchenko, who appeared in the series 'Shadow of Truth' as a possible suspect, expressed hope that the new data would lead to the murderer. At this point, it is unclear whether investigators will re-interrogate Zadorov and other individuals involved.
