Tel Aviv police on Tuesday filed a prosecutor's statement against a 37-year-old Palestinian resident of Obidiyya, a village in the Judea area, on suspicion of committing an indecent act against a 16-year-old boy in south Tel Aviv. According to the Channel 12 report, the suspect was staying in Israel without a permit and allegedly ambushed the minor before carrying out the assault. The statement signals the intent to indict, with a formal charge sheet expected in the coming days.
