Israeli police have concluded their investigation into a Jericho resident accused of years of systematic abuse against his wife, including during her pregnancies. The case has now been transferred to the court.
According to the publication Hamal, the husband allegedly subjected his wife to severe physical and psychological violence. The investigation began last September when the victim reported the abuse to the Hebron police station in the Shaar area. Authorities quickly apprehended the suspect.
Investigators claim the accused repeatedly assaulted his wife with improvised weapons, such as an electric cable, and threatened her with what appeared to be a pistol. He also controlled her movements by confiscating her ID, mobile phone, and credit cards, preventing her from leaving or seeking help.
Prosecutors filed a nine-count indictment against the man on October 5, 2026, based on evidence gathered, including witness testimonies and interrogation materials.
