A 15-year-old girl was detained for questioning on Monday in connection with the assault of a young Druze woman on a bus in Ramat Gan in August. The suspect allegedly cursed at the victim, a 24-year-old woman, and threw socks at her, along with other suspects. The victim, who is from northern Israel and from a security-affiliated family, was reportedly targeted because she was speaking Arabic on the phone. According to the suspicion, a group of youths decided to throw objects at her, curse at her, and make offensive remarks such as "stinking Arab, get off the bus because you have no place in the country." Police from the Bnei Brak-Ramat Gan station detained the minor on suspicion of assault and a hate crime motivated by racism or animosity towards a public group. She was released under restrictive conditions after her interrogation.
