Jerusalem light rail stone-throwers to be sued for damages
- 9 years ago
The State Attorney's civil unit is soon expected to present two precedential tort claims against Arabs who hurled stones at the Jerusalem light rail, causing damage to its windows, Ynet has learned.
In both claims, the state will demand the court to order the immediate payment of NIS 40,000 for each window broken - the amount that property tax pays Citypass, who built the light rail, as compensation for the replacement of a train window.
This move is part of a wide-scale initiative to file a series of civil damage suits, that will require perpetrators throwing stones, Molotov cocktails and fireworks to pay for the damage that they have caused in addition to civil lawsuits.
