A 51-year-old resident of Bnei Brak has been indicted for allegedly assaulting and threatening to murder his wife on multiple occasions. The charges, filed by the Tel Aviv District Police Prosecution Unit, include threats, assault causing actual bodily harm to a partner, and simple assault against a partner. The indictment follows an investigation initiated on November 1, 2026, after police received a report of suspected domestic violence. Officers from the Bnei Brak-Ramat Gan station responded, located the victim, and arrested the suspect.
During the investigation, it was revealed that the suspect had a history of violence. In one incident in October, after returning from synagogue, he allegedly kicked their dog, threatened to kill his wife, and threw a wine bottle at her, causing her to break two teeth. In other instances, he reportedly slapped his wife, threw a plate at her, pulled her hair, and used a kitchen knife on her hands. He also allegedly threatened to "break your bones" and pushed her during an argument.
The suspect was detained, and his remand was extended periodically. Alongside the indictment, prosecutors requested that he be held in custody until the legal proceedings conclude. The charges include threats, assault causing actual bodily harm to a partner, and simple assault against a partner.
