Carmiel Police are asking the public’s help Wednesday in the investigation of a rape that occurred last week.
The incident began last Monday at 11 p.m., when a 20-year-old Carmiel resident was walking along one of the city’s streets when a vehicle containing three unidentified Arab men pulled up in front of her. The three then stepped out of the car and dragged the woman inside; they proceeded to drive apparently to the Safed area where two of the men raped her for a number of hours while the third kept watch.
The Arab men then drove her back to the spot they had kidnapped her from.
Carmiel Investigations Unit Chief Roee Waldman said the woman later made her way to a Nahariya hospital, where she underwent several operations.
Police intervened immediately after the woman arrived at the hospital, but there are no suspects in the case as of yet.
According to the victim’s testimony, she was apparently driven by the Arab men in a white BMW; however, she was unable to help police with composite portraits of the assailants or offer any information that would lead to an arrest.
Police are now asking residents to come forward with any information that may advance the investigation.
Three unidentified men have been accused of kidnapping a young Israeli woman in Karmiel last Monday, and driving her to Safed where they allegedly raped her repeatedly, over several hours.

They then drove her back to where they took her from and she found her way to Nahariya hospital, where she has been hospitalized for several days and required several operations for her injuries.

The police suspect that the men are a gang of serial rapists who committed several other rapes in Karmiel recently.

The victim stated that the men were Arab and drove a white BMW.
