A dispute over 100 shekels (approximately $25) escalated into a violent assault involving scratches, curses, and hair-pulling, culminating in a stabbing with scissors in Eilat. The incident occurred over a year ago when a woman, identified as Levi, approached another woman in a commercial area of Eilat and asked for 100 shekels. After the request was refused, a verbal argument ensued, quickly devolving into a physical fight. Both women reportedly hit and scratched each other, pulled hair, and exchanged curses.
During the altercation, Levi produced a pair of sharp scissors she had brought from home and proceeded to stab the other woman multiple times. Following the attack, Levi fled the scene. She was later arrested after a complaint was filed against her.
The Eilat Magistrate's Court convicted Levi of causing injury during an assault with a sharp object and engaging in a public brawl. In its sentencing, the court emphasized the severe damage to societal values, including personal integrity, dignity, and security, and the need to protect individuals from violence over trivial matters. The judge noted the high degree of harm to societal values in this case.
Levi was sentenced to 20 months in prison, with two previously suspended sentences activated, bringing her total prison term to 32 months, or two years and eight months. Additionally, she received a 12-month suspended sentence for three years, a fine of 1,500 shekels, and was ordered to pay 5,000 shekels in compensation to the victim. Levi's reaction to the sentence was reportedly "I'm not paying anything."
