Jerusalem Nun Attacker Acquitted
A Jewish man from a settlement in the West Bank has been acquitted of charges against him following a violent assault on a Catholic nun in Jerusalem. The court based its decision on his self-defense claim, asserting that he was experiencing a psychotic episode at the time of the incident. The judge ordered his confinement in a psychiatric hospital for up to six years. The assault occurred in April and caused public shock in Israel and within the Christian community. Over the past three years, incidents of religious attacks have increased, quadrupling in the last few months, mostly carried out by Jewish nationalists. The judiciary aims to ensure public safety and the psychological recovery of the victim, despite some critics returning to the issue of the lack of criminal punishment.
