משתתפים בניסיון הלינץ' בירושלים יפצו ב-180 אלף שקל את הקורבנות

הערכה

A Jerusalem court has ordered two participants in a 2021 lynching attempt to pay 180,000 shekels in compensation to three Jewish victims who were attacked on their way to the Western Wall during the Guardian of the Walls riots. The ruling assigns 60,000 shekels per victim, with the judge noting that the terror and fear experienced during the attack form a central part of the harm. This civil judgment establishes financial accountability beyond any criminal proceedings, signaling that courts are willing to impose significant monetary penalties on perpetrators of mob violence. The decision may set a precedent for future compensation claims arising from similar incidents during periods of widespread unrest.
