The Supreme Court has increased the sentences of robbers who broke into a jewelry store in Kfar Manda using a bulldozer, adding an additional year to their prison terms. The robbers arrived with a bulldozer, destroyed part of the store's wall, and stole jewelry worth nearly two million shekels. They equipped themselves with operational phones, face veils, gloves, bags for collecting loot, vehicles, and one carried a fake license plate. Some of the involved also carried firearms. The Supreme Court accepted the prosecution's position and ruled that punishment for serious violent crimes must be increased to protect the public. Additionally, it was determined that even though the jewelry was recovered, the robbers must pay compensation for the damage to the store and the mental harm to the victim. Each of them was ordered to pay 30,000 shekels in compensation.
