In Israel, charges were filed against a 32-year-old resident of the Valley (Emek HaMa'ayanot) district for threatening to kill his wife after she decided to divorce and moved to her parents' home. According to the investigation, the man did not accept the breakup, sending his wife messages with threats of murder and harm. On July 21, he arrived at his wife's parents' home, punctured both left tires of her car parked in the lot, and sent her photos to force her to come out. The damage is estimated at 750 shekels. Police arrived quickly and arrested the man with a knife before the woman came out. A police major, an investigator in domestic violence cases, expressed concern that if the woman had come out to check the car, it could have ended in disaster. The indictment also includes messages with insults and threats sent via WhatsApp. The man faces charges of assaulting his spouse, threats, intentional property damage, and illegal possession of a knife. The case will be heard in the Nazareth Magistrate's Court. The defendant's lawyer stated that this is a young couple in a family crisis due to financial problems, that the man cooperated with the investigation, partially admitted guilt, and the court allowed his release under conditions.
