The Central District Court in Lod has sentenced Ravan Abd al-Hai, an assistant teacher at the private "Segal" kindergarten in Hod HaSharon, to ten years in prison for abusing young children. The court found her guilty of 277 counts of violent offenses against eight toddlers aged eight months to 1.5 years. The abuse, which included cruelty and aggravated assault, occurred over three months between May and July 2023. Abd al-Hai was also ordered to pay 450,000 shekels in compensation to the victims' families. The verdict, which included nine counts of cruel treatment and 122 counts of aggravated assault, was based on extensive surveillance footage. Judges emphasized the extreme danger of such acts against very young children who cannot defend themselves or report abuse. The harsh sentence reflects Israel's stance against violence in preschools.
