On October 12, 2018, Aisha al-Rabi (Arabic: عائشة الرابي), 47, a Palestinian woman, was killed by Jewish settler teens near the Tapuah Junction in the northern Israeli-occupied West Bank south of Nablus as they hurled rocks at the car she was traveling in. One particularly large rock smashed the front windshield and crushed her skull. In December 2018, five teenage boys from a nearby Jewish religious boarding schools where detained as suspects of the crime. Four of them were released in January 2019, but the last one, a 16-year-old boy were held until he was placed in house arrest in May. In May 2020, it was reported that he had been allowed to return home to his settlement in the West Bank. His trial has not yet begun. The attack was labelled a terrorist attack by the Israeli government but Aisha al-Rabi's family has not received compensation from it because they are not Israeli citizens. They are currently processing against the Israeli government to receive what they think is fair compensation for the attack.
