Suspects indicted in Tel Aviv

The Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office filed an indictment against the two attackers, with the prosecutor saying that "the cruelty of the actions of the accused shows that they do not shy away from the law in such a way that it is not possible to place any trust in them.

"Public safety cannot be maintained by any alternative - but only by putting them behind bars."
