JERUSALEM: Israel on Thursday charged two Arab Israeli schoolgirls with the attempted murder of a security guard last week, saying they expected to die in the attempt and become martyrs.
But in another case involving Jewish thugs, the Zionists “weighed the sanity” of the man found to be the ringleader of the beating and burning alive of a Palestinian teenager in 2014.
In the first case, a police statement quoted the charge sheet as saying that the two girls were both aged 14, from the mixed Arab-Jewish town of Ramle, and had been influenced by a wave of Palestinian struggle since October.
“On Feb. 3, 2016, after a stabbing attack in which three terrorists were shot dead at Jerusalem’s Damascus Gate and because of the wave of terror, the accused agreed to meet the next day, equipped with kitchen knives, to carry out a nationalist stabbing attack,” it said.
“They conspired to become ‘martyrs’ and die in the war for religion.”
On Feb. 4, “one of the accused suggested to the other that they go to school first and carry out the stabbing attack in the afternoon,” it added.
“Nevertheless the other accused persuaded her that they should mount the attack in the morning instead of going to school.”
It said the girls took knives from their home kitchens and hid them in their school bags, then set out for Ramle’s shopping mall with the intention of killing an Israeli soldier.
According to the statement, when they could see only civilians they decided to target a private security guard at the mall entrance.
The two then pulled knives and stabbed the guard in an arm and his legs, lightly wounding him before they were overpowered by a second guard and a soldier.
In the second case, illegal Israeli settler Yosef Haim Ben-David, 31, was found to have led the assault, but his lawyers submitted last-minute documents saying he suffered from mental illness and was not responsible for his actions.
Two doctors were to testify on Thursday at the district court in Jerusalem, with a decision not expected until a later date.
On Feb. 4, a court sentenced his two young Israeli accomplices to life and 21 years in prison for the killing, which was part of a spiral of violence in the runup to the 2014 Gaza invasion.
The two were minors at the time of the chilling attack in which they snatched Mohammed Abu Khdeir, 16, from an east Jerusalem street and then killed him.
