14.5-year-old girl hospitalized at Laniado after group assault at Netanya’s Ir Yamim Mall
According to 90FM, the teen suffered months of bullying and threats before being beaten and kicked by a group of girls at the mall. Police opened an investigation.
A 14.5-year-old girl was taken to the emergency room at Laniado Hospital after being attacked by a group of teenage girls at Ir Yamim Mall in Netanya, 90FM reported on November 11, 2026. The assault was publicized by opposition City Council member Yam Meir Keren, who visited the family at the hospital immediately following a council meeting.
Speaking from the hospital, the girl’s mother said her daughter had endured four months of harassment, threatening messages, and audio recordings. She said two prior police complaints were each closed within a day, forcing the family to transfer the teen three times to schools outside Netanya—yet the group confronted her at the mall alongside seven unfamiliar girls, beating and kicking her in the stomach.
Keren urged Netanya’s education and welfare departments to address the incident and prevent normalization of youth violence. Israel Police stated that an investigation has been opened.
