The prosecution has filed a charge of negligent homicide against Adi Ashkir, a 25-year-old minibus driver from Tira, for causing the deaths of two teenage students in a fatal road accident at the Sorak junction in May. The victims were identified as Shira Mazal Na'im, a 10th-grade student from Sde Ozya, and Aharon Peretz, a 12th-grade student from Ashdod. According to the indictment, a truck driver with a trailer stopped at the side of the Sorak junction and began to slowly merge into traffic. Ashkir was driving behind the truck, but despite having a wide field of vision and seeing the truck's signal, he failed to notice it, did not maintain a safe distance, and collided forcefully with the trailer.

The accident resulted in the deaths of the two students, aged 16 and 17.5. The charges were filed at the Central District Traffic Court.
