Parents of two fifth-graders at a Ma'ale Adumim school have filed police complaints against two ninth-graders following a violent assault on their daughters, captured on video and witnessed by classmates. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, October 28, has deeply shaken the victims' families.
According to Ynet, the two ninth-graders were detained for questioning and subsequently placed under five days of house arrest with restrictive conditions. The father of one of the assaulted girls described the footage as "unbearable," showing his daughter being beaten "with all her might" by the older students while onlookers did nothing to intervene. He stated the attack was allegedly provoked by his daughter "staring at the older students" and "talking too loudly."
The father expressed profound concern over the inaction of the students present, emphasizing that his daughter was only able to escape when a friend intervened, who also sustained injuries. He recounted his daughter's severe psychological trauma, visible physical injuries including a large bruise and contusions, and her tearful distress upon calling him.
He further described the ninth-graders as a source of fear within the school and called for their removal and transfer to a different educational institution to ensure his daughter's safety. He also urged the school administration to implement disciplinary measures and conduct educational sessions on violence prevention.
The Ministry of Education acknowledged the "severe incident" as a manifestation of violence unacceptable in the educational system. Ministry officials are collaborating with the school administration to address the issue through pedagogical and disciplinary means, aiming to enhance student safety and responsibility. Due to the ongoing police investigation and privacy concerns, further details were withheld.
