Three Palestinians from the West Bank town of Hawara have been charged with involvement in a severe lynching of a Jewish teenager who entered the town, which nearly resulted in his death. According to the investigation, on January 25, the Shin Bet received intelligence about a Jewish teenager who entered Hawara, where he was violently attacked by several locals. As a result of the assault, the teenager lost consciousness and the suspects believed he was dead. The Shin Bet and Border Police located the teenager and arrested six suspects – and last weekend, indictments were filed against three of them.
