Israeli Court Clears Man in Attack on French Nun


(MENAFN) A Jerusalem court acquits an Israeli man accused of assaulting a French nun near Mount Zion in April after a psychiatric evaluation finds him unfit to bear criminal responsibility for his actions.

The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court bases its decision on an assessment of Yona Schreiber’s mental state at the time of the incident, according to reports.

The evaluation determines that Schreiber was experiencing a psychotic episode during the attack and did not understand or recognize what he was doing.

Rather than imposing a criminal sentence, the court orders Schreiber to receive treatment at a psychiatric hospital.

Security footage reportedly captures Schreiber following the nun before pushing her to the ground and kicking her repeatedly.
