East Jerusalem resident arrested for allegedly committing indecent acts against 12-year-old girls

During police activity along the Tel Aviv coastline on Friday, a report was received regarding a suspicious man who allegedly entered the water, approached two 12-year-old girls, and touched them.

A 19-year-old man from East Jerusalem was apprehended on Friday for allegedly engaging in indecent acts with two 12-year-old girls. On Friday, police received a report of a suspicious male entering the water and touching two young girls. Officers quickly spotted the suspect and apprehended him. Authorities conducted an investigation of his background, confirming he was a 19-year-old resident of East Jerusalem.

He was taken to a police station for questioning and was subsequently detained. On Saturday night, he appeared before a court, which extended his detention until Monday. This incident follows a series of arrests in Tel Aviv last month, where two men were accused of indecent acts against three women in different locations. A Palestinian man in his 30s was arrested for touching the buttocks of two women at Park HaMesila and the Teder club.

Additionally, a Haifa resident in his 40s was detained for allegedly entering a women's restroom stall at Frishman Beach and committing an indecent act against a woman.
