8 youths suspected of raping an 11-year-old girl in the northern Israel

Israeli police arrested eight teens aged 14-16 from the Central Galilee region in Israel's Northern District on suspicion of raping an 11-year-old girl on multiple occasions.

The teens' arrest was extended once, and they were later released and placed under house arrest.

According to police suspicion, the acts attributed to the youths occurred in April this year.

The girl was interrogated several times by a child protective investigator and material collected from her cellphone revealed thousands of correspondences with the boys involved in the case.

Among other things, it turned out that in some cases, the girl lied to the boys about her age, saying she was 15.
