PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY SUED OVER THE MURDER OF A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD ISRAELI CHILD

Shurat HaDin, acting on behalf of the family of thirteen-year-old Hallel Ariel, a young girl brutally murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in 2016, filed a lawsuit with the International Criminal Court in The Hague against the heads of the Palestinian Authority for inciting terror. Following the murder, Hallel’s parents—Rina and Amichai Ariel—have been involved in legal battles against the Palestinian Authority that have stretched across multiple jurisdictions.
The damages sought, NIS 100 million, is the same amount the Palestinian Authority is paying the terrorist’s family, in the form of monthly payments, for having carried out the attacks. Muhammad Tarayrah, who murdered Hallel was seventeen-year-old when perpetrated the cold-blooded slaying, shared multiple posts on Facebook in which he praised terror attacks, and stated his intentions to be a martyr. Carrying out his intentions, the terrorist infiltrated the West Bank Settlement of Kiryat Araba, located next to Hebron, snuck into Hallel’s bedroom, and stabbed her multiple times. The settlement’s security team, of which her father was a part of, shot and killed the terrorist. The Palestinian Authority pays Tarayrah’s family a monthly amount of NIS 12,000 as a reward for their son carrying out the horrific crime. “If the lawsuit is accepted [by the International Court], all victims of terrorism can sue the Palestinian Authority based on the payments the PA pays to the terrorists and their families,” Shurat HaDin added after the court papers were filed.
