After the attack, two of the Arabs were arrested and sentenced to community service and payment of compensation to the victim of the crime, but without being convicted of nationalist-based offenses.
After the verdict, a civil lawsuit was filed against them. In the civil proceedings, Judge Daniel Dembitz accepted Honenu's claim that the background to the incident was nationalistic.
Attorney Bleicher welcomed the court's decision: "We welcome the verdict. This is an anti-Semitic incident that left an extremely difficult impression that will haunt the victim of the attack and his other relatives who witnessed the incident for years. Judge Daniel Mordechai Dembitz accepted our claim that this was not a casual robbery but an act with a nationalistic motive, which deepens the harm and justifies compensation at the high level.".
