An indictment alleges that a young man from Ma'ale Iron was part of a group that lured a teen from Bat Yam to a home, attacked him with bats and a gun-like object, bound him, then forced him to recite a coerced confession while being robbed and placed in a car trunk, according to N12.
The indictment, first reported by N12, describes a methodical attack. The victim was lured to a home in Ma'ale Iron for a meal, then attacked with bats and a weapon resembling a handgun. He was handcuffed and bound. During the assault, he was forced to recite a pre-written 'confession', while being robbed of a phone and 3,000 shekels. The attackers then placed him in a vehicle trunk, bound and blindfolded. The suspect from Ma'ale Iron is charged alongside others. The motive remains unclear from the published portions of the indictment.
