The State Prosecutor in the Central District filed price tag indictments against Dor Aloni and Vian Chick, both 20, of Karmei Shomron. They are charged conspiracy to break the law and causing property damage with the latter motivated by nationalistic motives, making it a hate crime.
The indictments were filed in the Kfar Saba Magistrate Court, alleging the suspects wished to take revenge for a clash that occurred between residents of Shomron and Arabs from Qusra. The prosecution obtained a video in which they claim credit for some of the allegations against them. A third defendant, a minor, is also being charged but his name may not be published.
