The Israeli Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of Arafat Rafaiyah, the terrorist who brutally raped and murdered Ori Ansbacher and was sentenced to life plus 20 years in prison. Judges Yosef Elron, Ruth Ronen, and Gila Canfy-Steinitz rejected the murderer's claims that he was mentally unfit to stand trial. On February 7th, 2019, Ansbacher, 19, went from the Yaelim Center for At-Risk Children and Teens, where she served, to the nearby forest. Rafaiyah, who was in Israel illegally, came with a knife.
