The State Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against Yitzhak Lidan, 19, from Ashdod, and another minor, for the attempted murder of a driver who honked at them. The indictment states that the two defendants were riding an electric scooter in the middle of a road in Ashdod last month, obstructing traffic. When the victim honked at them, they decided to attack him and began following his vehicle, with Lidan carrying a knife. The victim, fearing the pair, ran a red light in an attempt to escape. However, upon reaching a parking lot and exiting his car, he saw them running towards him. A confrontation ensued, during which the victim tried to return to his car, but Lidan drew his knife. After the two caught up to him, Lidan stabbed the victim multiple times in the abdomen, back, and chest, and also in the shoulder. The minor simultaneously punched the victim. The indictment also notes that Lidan has a prior criminal record, and the minor defendant had violated his house arrest conditions.
