The Jerusalem District Court convicted the 14-year-old terrorist who, in 2021, carried out a stabbing attack in the Shimon Hatzaddik neighborhood in Jerusalem, which injured Moriah Cohen, a resident of the neighborhood, who was out walking with her children.
Due to her young age, the terrorist will only be convicted and sentenced. Immediately after the attack, the extremely young terrorist ran to a nearby school, where she hid until security forces raided the school and apprehended her.
Cohen congratulated the court's decision: "The wild incitement that drives an underage terrorist to try and murder me in front of my children has to stop. Just this week, a 15-year-old terrorist carried out a shooting attack here in the neighborhood. I hope the court will sentence the terrorist to many years in prison and order the family to be deported. The attempt by the terrorists who live in my neighborhood to murder me and kick us out won't work, we will stay here forever."
Adv. Chaim Bleicher from the Honenu organization, who represents Moriah Cohen, responded to the court's decision: "The murderous Islamic terror uses every way to murder Jews. The terror organizations incite and coax teens to take up arms and try to massacre Jews, even if it's a mother with her small children. We welcome the court's decision to convict the terrorist of attempted murder since the intentions of a terrorist who stabs someone a clear to any intelligent person. We expect the court to hand the terrorist a heavy and significant sentence to deter any terrorist at any age."
In December 2021, the young terrorist, a resident of the Shimon Hatzaddik neighborhood, followed Cohen, who was walking with her children on the street, and stabbed her in the back. The terrorist escaped to a nearby school, where she hid until she was caught by security forces. The court's decision comes only two days after a 15-year-old boy opened fire on a Jew in the same neighborhood.
