ILA man named Barakat Abu Asa from the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the 2023 rape of a woman in her home in Gedera. During the attack, Abu Asa assaulted the woman and abused her two-year-old son who was present. He entered through the balcony using tape to restrain the victim, threatened her with violence, and raped her in the home's safe room. The victim managed to escape with the help of her older son, and she later alerted her community via a WhatsApp message. Although the incident caused tension between Jewish and Arab communities in Gedera, prosecutors found no evidence linking the crime to nationalist motives. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir claimed the crime was nationalistic but faced no supporting evidence. The court ruled that the assault itself constituted abuse of the victim's child, setting a legal precedent.
