01 · THE DISPATCH

An indictment was filed Monday at the Nazareth District Court against a resident of Migdal HaEmek, who is accused of assaulting his elderly father — with whom he lives — over a dispute about NIS 100. According to the indictment, the two argued about the sum, and the defendant allegedly stabbed his father in the hand and then left the home. The victim's condition has not been reported, and no further details on the circumstances of the alleged assault have been released.

This is the latest in a string of reported domestic violence incidents involving elderly parents, including a June 16 stabbing in Rehovot in which a son killed his 84-year-old father and admitted to police. The Migdal HaEmek case is at an earlier stage, with the indictment now filed; a conviction has not yet been entered.
