Channel 12 reported Monday morning that a prosecutor's statement — a formal step ahead of an indictment — has been filed against the suspect who assaulted a young woman in broad daylight in the central Israeli town of Azor. The incident, captured on security cameras and widely shared on social media, shows the suspect following the woman, tackling her, and attempting to kiss her by force. An indictment and a request for remand until the end of legal proceedings are expected within days. The suspect's identity has not been released. The filing marks a significant step in the case, which was first reported by journalist Daniel Amram last Thursday; at that time the suspect remained at large.
