A Magistrate's Court in Ashkelon has extended the arrest of a 21-year-old employee at the private "Zuzu" daycare network in the city by four days. She is suspected of involvement in the alleged abuse of infants aged eight months to three years by four other caregivers at the facility. Initially reported as a caregiver, it was later clarified that she works as a cleaner. Police are currently charging her primarily with conspiracy, with her alleged role considered minor compared to the detained caregivers. During the hearing, a police representative stated, "She was present at the location and in the same space when these things happened. In part, she also had a role." Her lawyer, Sami Partiali, argued for a distinction between those who orchestrated the events and those merely present, stating, "One must differentiate between those who charted the course and those who were there."
