A court has acquitted an Israeli man who attacked a nun in Jerusalem on psychiatric grounds.

La corte ordena el internamiento en un psiquiátrico durante un máximo de seis años al autor del ataque, un colono religioso judío

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

A Jerusalem court has acquitted 36-year-old Israeli settler Yona Schreiber, who attacked a French Catholic nun in April without saying a word. The judge accepted the psychiatrist's assessment that Schreiber was in a psychotic state at the time of the incident. As a result, he was found not criminally responsible and ordered to be held in a psychiatric center for up to six years. The incident drew international attention to rising hate crimes against Christians committed by Jewish fundamentalists in the city.
