After the media reports of terror attacks, we rarely remain informed as to what occurs to the terrorists in the Israeli judicial system. In February 2015, a 12-year-old female terrorist armed with a knife was taken into custody outside Karmei Tzur. B’chasdei Hashem, she was taken into custody by security personnel before she could perpetrate an attack.

She has since been placed on trial and convicted of attempted murder and possession of a deadly weapon. She was sentenced to an 18-month prison term due to her age.

Following sentencing, the 18-month sentence was reduced by 6 weeks. Amazingly, it does not end here. An NIS 8,000 was levied against her and if the payment is forthcoming, she is likely to be released in the coming two weeks.
