A number of students from the fifth and sixth grades of two
Jerusalem secular state elementary schools were summoned for
questioning by the Jerusalem Police Moriah station. The
summons took place following information received by the
Police about a knife fight the students were planning to
hold.
From the initial investigation, it was learned that the brawl
was meant to determine who would "rule" the intermediate
school, located in the city's southwest. 45 students from two
schools were supposed to participate in the skirmish. Each
student was told to bring brass knuckles, iron rods, boards
and stones to the event, which was to take place in a grove
in the southwest region of the city.
Students from a third school were supposed serve as judges
and to crown the winners, "Kings of the Intermediate
Level."
Youth agents from the Moriah station issued warnings to
students from the three schools and summoned some of their
parents for questioning. Under interrogation, the students
confessed that they had planned to hold the skirmish last
Tuesday. The police asked the school principals to keep an
eye on the students and took steps to prevent the planning
and the implementation of the brawl.
