Teens Arrested for Assaulting Foreign Worker for Social Media Video

Police in Israel have arrested two teenagers, aged 14 and 15, from Bnei Brak on suspicion of assaulting a foreign worker in Ramat Gan. The incident, which occurred in July during school holidays, came to light when a video of the attack was posted online. In the footage, one teenager sprayed the worker with pepper spray while the other filmed it on a mobile phone. Investigators believe the sole motive was to create "funny videos" for social media. The suspects were identified after the video circulated on TikTok and a Telegram channel, as they did not conceal their faces during the assault. Despite the teens' apparent belief that they would face no consequences, police were able to identify and apprehend them. The worker who was attacked has not yet been identified, and police are actively searching for him. The two minors were questioned and released under restrictive conditions, and the investigation is ongoing.
