A group of Israeli travelers was attacked this week at a remote campsite in northern Mongolia after an intoxicated man allegedly approached them with an ax and shouted “Heil Hitler” after hearing them speak Hebrew.
One Israeli suffered a broken jaw and was flown back to Israel for medical treatment, while the rest of the group was evacuated from the area.
Local authorities condemned the attack and offered the Israelis the option to file a police complaint. The incident occurred in a remote region of northern Mongolia and was described as unusual for a country generally viewed as friendly toward Israeli visitors.
