Valeria Levin, a 15-year-old who was allegedly attacked in a racially motivated incident at a school in Netanya, told Ynet studio that "girls from school came and beat me up. They started cursing at us and what hurt me the most was realizing that because of this incident it will be hard for me to return to school." She added: "I'm afraid to return to school because I don't know what they might do to me. All my life I feel this happens — they mock me for being Russian."
