Mother Calls Son's Stabbing Attack an 'Attempted Murder'

A 21-year-old man, identified only as L., was brutally attacked with knives by a group of youths in Ramla, an incident his mother described as an attempted murder. L. was walking to his father's workplace in a local supermarket to help with deliveries when he was surrounded by the attackers, who were armed with knives. He stated he did not know them and was listening to music with headphones on when they called him over. "I was attacked, they kicked me in the head, blow after blow. My whole body hurts, I can barely move from the bed," he recounted, expressing shock at the unprovoked violence. The attack was captured on security cameras, and footage circulated on social media, alerting his mother, Yarden, who was at work. She described a traumatic experience upon seeing the blurry image of her son and initially fearing the worst. Yarden expressed a lack of security in the neighborhood and anger at the attackers and their families, noting their lack of remorse during a court hearing for the suspects. "To me, they are terrorists, they tried to harm an innocent person," she stated, demanding they be imprisoned for life. She also criticized the parents of the suspects for their apparent indifference and lack of apology. Police arrested 11 suspects in connection with the attack. Six were released under restrictive conditions, while the detention of the remaining five was extended.
