A group of six Israeli ‘travelers’, including three men who served in the military, was attacked last week at a remote campsite in northern Mongolia by an assailant armed with an axe, according to reports by Hebrew media.
The incident occurred on a Monday evening as the group of three men and three women prepared to spend the night.
The attacker, whom Hebrew media claimed was intoxicated, overheard the ‘Israelis’ speaking Hebrew and confronted them.
According to reports citing the victims, the assailant shouted antisemitic slurs including “Heil Hitler” and “Get out of here” before charging with weapons.
One ‘Israeli’ was struck in the face, suffering a fractured jaw.
The three soldiers fought back. One used a glass bottle to repel an attacker, while another disarmed a man armed with a knife, which allowed the group to escape to safety with the help of a local driver, the reports added.
The injured traveler was subsequently flown back to ‘Israel’ for medical treatment.
Local Mongolian authorities invited the group to file a police complaint, but the ‘Israelis’ declined.
Mongolian officials condemned the attack.
