Upon surrendering, it was confirmed by the police that Karvavanibozak was not the mother of the other child involved in the incident. According to the victim, the father, identified as Prashar, his son was playing with Karvavanibozak’s child when she approached and inquired if he supported Hamas. When Prashar declined to answer, the situation escalated, with the woman aggressively instructing him to leave. Prashar began filming the encounter, during which Karvavanibozak allegedly threw a cup of coffee and her phone in his direction.
