Police in Israel have detained a 15-year-old girl on suspicion of assaulting and verbally abusing a 24-year-old Druze woman on a bus in Ramat Gan, in an incident being investigated as racially motivated. The investigation began in August after the victim reported being attacked while traveling on a Dan bus line. Authorities allege the suspect, along with others, cursed at the victim and threw socks at her.
According to the victim's family, she was speaking Arabic on her phone when a group of youths began shouting racist slurs, including "stinking Arab! Get off the bus, you have no place in this country." The family also stated that no other passengers intervened.
The victim's brother, a Druze IDF pilot returning from reserve duty, obtained bus camera footage weeks after the incident. The family is reportedly considering civil action against those involved or their parents. Dan, the bus company, stated that it is unaware of such an incident.
