Raz Atias

An Israeli teen couple planned to commit suicide together in the woods near Beit Shemesh, Israel, according to police.

Young love, a secret pregnancy and a confrontation with the police has created a bit of a mystery last weekend, raising questions about the circumstances leading to the death of a teenager.
 
Raz Atias and his girlfriend, whose name has not been released, started dating only a few weeks ago. She had graduated from high school last summer, and was about to join the army. She had just started her senior year in high school.

But on Thursday night, the two ended up in the forest near Beit Shemesh, planning to commit a double suicide, according to a note by email Atias sent to a television news program. On Friday morning, Atias was shot dead by police officers. The girl, the only witness who could shed light on what really happened, has yet to tell the story.
 
Police are trying to reconstruct the chain of events of that fateful night.
According to his family, Atias, 18, was a fun and friendly teenager who wanted to get into an elite commando naval unit. He was waiting for the results of the assessment carried out by the army.  The two met at a school in the north of the country. They’ve only been dating for a short time, but he had already had a close relationship with the girl’s family.
 
“He was a nice and sweet guy,” the teen’s mother said after the incident.
Last week, the girl, 17, was hospitalized for abdominal pain, that’s when she learned that she was pregnant. She kept the news secret from his parents, her mother said.
 
Atias told his parents of her pregnancy and his mother, Ricki Atias, insisted on accompanying him on his visit to the hospital. In a conversation with the two teenagers, they mentioned the possibility of terminating the pregnancy, while anti-abortion activists operating in the hospital also tried to influence the girl.


When the pregnant teen was discharged later that week, Ricki Atias picked up the two from the hospital and dropped the girl off back at school.
 
“When we came home, he locked himself in his room,” the mother said. “He did not want to talk about the relationship.”
According to friends of the girl and the director of the boarding school, the boy’s parents refused to allow the relationship to continue.
Apparently that led to their plan to commit suicide in the woods.
