Suspect in Kidnapping of 10-Year-Old Held Longer, Police Investigate Other Attacks

A court in Petah Tikva extended the remand of a suspect in the kidnapping of 10-year-old Yahli Sofer by four days. During the hearing, a police representative stated that the suspect, a 20-year-old from Jerusalem, is also being investigated for allegedly assaulting other minors.

"We have received information about minors in various locations across the country, and we are investigating this," the police representative told the court. The suspect's attorney argued that her client has an intellectual disability.

The police are looking into the possibility that the suspect may have attacked other children in different parts of Israel. The investigation is ongoing.
