(lives here in court) - Five years after the shocking case, in which Ephraim Ben Baruch found his death, Muhammad Hativ of Tamra, who worked as a caregiver at the "Ramat Haifa" daycare center, was convicted of causing the death of the late Ben Baruch, who was sheltering in the daycare center.
At the end of a trial that lasted two years, five years after the death of the late Ephraim Ben Baruch at the age of 29, Muhammad Khatib (24) from Tamra was convicted of causing his death by negligence and assault.
Khativ, who worked as a caregiver at the "Ramat Haifa" daycare center, was convicted last night (Monday 17/6/24) in the Haifa District Court by Judge Amir Tobi, of causing death by negligence and assault, but was acquitted of the most serious offense he was charged with - reckless homicide.
Eight hours passed before he was referred for treatment
Ben Baruch died, as I remember, in the hospital, two weeks after he was hospitalized, in July 2019, aged 29 at the time of his death. An indictment was filed against Hativ in which nine acts of assault were described that he committed in Ben Baruch, until he was no longer able to stand on his feet. In addition, according to As described in the indictment, more than eight hours passed before Ben Baruch was taken to the hospital for treatment. He died two weeks later as a result of brain damage.
He also abused other patrons
In addition, the indictment against Hativ detailed 15 previous incidents in which he attacked Ben Baruch, as well as 43 other incidents in which he abused and attacked other residents in the daycare center. Additional charges were filed against other caregivers who worked at the location.
In the "Ramat Haifa" residence live people of different ages who, due to mental disabilities and special needs they face, are unable to lead an independent life and need daily assistance in order to take care of their well-being.
life imprisonment
No amnesty!!!!
Punishment befitting the case
And if you think that this is an unusual case that happens once in a while, then a mistake, a serious mistake, I am being cared for in a nursing home, and what my eyes have seen and my ears have heard is simply unbelievable, unbelievable, but it is far beyond what the major and governmental partners think. A real danger. I saw with my own eyes images that were never seen or heard in the Holocaust. If I had known that there was a strong and real body, I would have told, but unfortunately I do not trust any body in the State of Israel.

Convicted of causing death "negligently" and assault.
What is the negligence here?
This negligence of Judge Amir Tobi who dragged this trial on for 5 years and also who finally made a decision was a decision from scratch.
If it was the victim of a relative of his, the prefix 1 would be added to the 5 years he was sentenced. Tapu of a sentence
