Two hours of sexual abuse at knifepoint: A case that shocks police investigators

A severe indictment reveals a shocking pattern of abuse: three teenagers aged 13–14 are accused of attacking two 14–15-year-olds as they returned home during the summer holidays. Under threat of a knife, the attackers forced the victims to perform sexual acts on each other for two consecutive hours while documenting the abuse on video.

The incident, which occurred without any prior conflict, has left even veteran police investigators in a state of deep shock. "I have been an investigator with the Israel Police for 26 years, and this is one of the most difficult cases I have handled. It is pure evil and psychological murder without any motive," warns Chief Warrant Officer Miri Talshir, a youth investigator at the 'Beit Lin' protection center who took the victims' testimonies.

According to the indictment filed by the State Attorney's Office to the Juvenile District Court in Beersheba, the three defendants forced their victims to perform sexual acts for two hours while filming. The incident began when the two victims, who were returning home from meeting friends, were approached by the three younger suspects, who were drinking alcohol and armed with a kitchen knife.

Two hours of nightmare

According to the indictment filed by Adv. Shirel Farjon of the Southern District Attorney's Office, the primary defendant held a knife to the victim's throat at least four times while another defendant assaulted them. At the end of the ordeal, the attackers threatened to harm the victims' families if they reported the incident. The investigation was managed by the Beersheba police station and the youth department, led by Chief Warrant Officer Kfir Makhlouf.

"This is a case of pure evil. Two normative teenagers were caught in a terrifying situation, like a scene from a horror movie," emphasizes CWO Talshir. She compares the event to the most severe cases of unprovoked violence in the past, noting that the psychological damage is permanent. The victims have reported living in a constant state of nightmare, unable to sleep or leave their homes.

Investigation in a protected environment

The case came to light after the teenagers sought medical treatment at a hospital, where signs of criminal abuse were identified. Testimonies were collected at the 'Beit Lin' protection center in the Ramot neighborhood of Beersheba. These centers, operated by the Ministry of Welfare, are designed to prevent further trauma by conducting interviews in a domestic, non-police setting.

When asked if this incident was merely a product of summer boredom, Talshir clarifies the distinction: "There is a difference between typical fights, which always increase during the summer, and cases like this. This current case is absolutely a quantum leap in violence."
