A 48-year-old man from the Jezreel Valley is facing charges for allegedly severely beating his 15-year-old daughter because she wore a sleeveless shirt. The indictment, filed by the prosecution in the Nazareth Magistrate's Court on Sunday, October 18, states the incident occurred in September when the father returned from work and saw his daughter in what he deemed "immodest attire."
According to the indictment, the father became enraged, shouting at his daughter, throwing objects, and smashing dishes. He also broke a kitchen cabinet door. When the daughter attempted to change her clothes and went to her room, the father allegedly broke down the door, damaging the handle. Inside the room, the prosecution claims he kicked and pinched his daughter, who tried to resist.
Her brother intervened in an attempt to protect her but was unable to stop their father. As the daughter fled the room to call the police, her father allegedly pursued her, snatched her mobile phone, and smashed it. The son ran to neighbors for help while the father continued to pull his daughter by her clothes and pinch her.
Police arrived at the scene, and the daughter and her brother spent the night at the police station in Afula. Senior Sergeant Orit Turgeman, head of the police's domestic violence unit, reported that the children filed an official complaint against their father. Turgeman told Ynet that the daughter was distressed, crying, and had visible bruises and scratches, stating that this was not the first instance of abuse by her father.
The charges against the father include causing serious bodily harm to a minor under his care, aggravated assault, and intentional damage to property.
