A 42-year-old man from East Jerusalem has been arrested on suspicion of following a woman in her 20s after she left a nightclub in central Tel Aviv, breaking into her apartment and raping her in her bedroom, according to multiple Israeli sources.

The Tel Aviv District Prosecutor’s Office filed a suspect declaration against Adham Yassin on Tuesday. According to police and prosecution statements reported by Ynet and Walla, the suspect has an extensive criminal history involving sexual offences, including a conviction for a sexual offence against a minor in 2022.

The suspect was under supervision by a sex offender monitoring unit at the time of the alleged incident. He is expected to be charged in the coming days with rape and related offences. The victim was reportedly attacked in her own bedroom after the suspect forcibly entered her home.
