According to police, during the night between July 27 and 28, the teenagers were filmed trying to break into the store, including with an iron bar, and kicking its entrance door.
At around 5:30 p.m., they allegedly returned while the owner was inside. They demanded money, and when he refused, they attacked him, causing injuries to his upper body.
The suspects, residents of Holon and Tel Aviv, had their detention extended several times before the indictment was filed.
