In Jaffa, a disturbing incident at a local school has led to the arrest and indictment of a 15-year-old boy. What began as an argument between the teenager and a school security guard escalated dramatically when the boy resorted to violence, throwing a brick. Tragically, the projectile missed its intended target but struck a young girl in the leg, causing her injury and requiring hospitalization. This event underscores the pervasive issue of youth violence and the alarming ease with which conflicts can spiral out of control.
