Two brothers will be brought Monday for an extension of their arrests, following suspicions that they raped their 14-year-old sister over a period of several years, Israel Hayom reported.

The investigation began following a report received by Israel Police several days ago. It is suspected that the minor's two brothers - one an adult and one a minor, both residents of northern Jerusalem - sexually abused her in their home, many times over the course of the years.

It is also suspected that they sexually abused additional minors in the family, Israel Hayom added.

The suspects were recently arrested and taken for interrogation by Israel Police, and on Monday they will be brought to court for an extension of their arrest, so as to allow the continuation of the investigation.

"We will continue to thoroughly and sensitively investigate suspicions of sexual abuse, especially those carried out within the family and against minors and helpless individuals, for the purpose of reaching the truth and bringing all sexual abusers, no matter who they are, to justice," Israel Police said in a statement.
