JERUSALEM - The alleged gang-rape of a 16-year-old girl by some 30 men in the Red Sea resort of Eilat has sparked outrage in Israel.
The girl had reported the alleged crime to police in Eilat last week but the case had previously gone largely unnoticed. Protests in the big cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Thursday evening prompted Israel's leaders to speak out against crimes against women. "It's not only a crime against a young girl, it's a crime against humanity itself that deserves condemnation from all of us.""Sexual assault, rape, sexual exploitation, sexual violence - these are some of the stains that cannot be deleted," he said.Ms Ilana Weizman of women's rights group HaStickeriot said one in five Israeli women was raped during her lifetime, with 260 cases reported every day.
