A Jerusalem Magistrate Court on Wednesday cleared Israeli settler Yona Schreiber, who had been accused of attacking a French Catholic nun near Jerusalem’s Old City earlier this year. The court ruled that he was not criminally responsible for the assault because of mental illness.

The attack took place in April outside the Cenacle on Mount Zion. The 48-year-old nun was a researcher at the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem. According to the report, Schreiber pushed her to the ground and kicked her in the head.

The nun required medical treatment immediately after the attack. Schreiber’s lawyer, Idan Gamliel, described the incident as unfortunate and said he had taken note of the nun’s suffering over the assault.
