In a July 2025 Knesset committee hearing on alleged ritual abuse, a survivor (pseudonym A) testified that at age 15 she was tied to a torture bed in Tel Aviv basements where abusers inserted a snake into her, then slaughtered it and mixed its blood with hers to drink, calling her a “sacred gate.” Reports say family members were among the perpetrators.
