Police announced at 19:45 today that they will request a court-ordered extension of the remand of two suspects arrested in connection with the alleged gang rape of a minor at a party in northern Israel. The suspects are in custody following what the force described as 'intensive investigative activity.'
The Zioneer reported at 19:44 that the two suspects had been taken into custody. Earlier, at 19:05, initial media reports confirmed the arrests, alongside new details that the victim had identified the suspects after being given a numbing drink that proved insufficient, allowing her to recall the clothing they wore. The victim's attorney, Adi Pashko Katz, stated that the attack was premeditated and suggested the victim may not be the only one targeted.
The investigation remains active. Police have not released the identities of the suspects or further specifics of the evidence. The court will weigh the remand extension request in the coming hours.
