Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office has filed a serious indictment against Pinchas Shem Tov Ran, a security coordinator from the Itamar settlement, for shooting at a vehicle in the Palestinian village of 'Aqrabah and severely wounding an 18-year-old Palestinian woman inside. Ran, in his 30s, is accused of severe violent offenses and obstruction of justice. The prosecution has requested his detention until the legal proceedings conclude.
The indictment follows a joint investigation by the Judea and Samaria District's Central Unit of the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security agency, which examined suspicions of violent conduct exceeding the authority and responsibility boundaries of those involved. The incident occurred on September 18, when a report was received about a young woman hit by gunfire while traveling in a vehicle in 'Aqrabah. She sustained multiple penetrating wounds to her upper and lower body and was evacuated in serious but stable condition.
Investigators collected testimonies, evidence, and clues to identify those involved in the shooting. The security coordinator and another individual were arrested this month on suspicion of involvement. During searches, the suspects' weapons and a vehicle believed to have been used in the offense were seized. According to the police, sufficient evidence was gathered against the main suspect, the Itamar resident, leading to the indictment.
