This is the first attack against Jews in the U.S. following Israel's attack on Iran, which occurred in San Jose, California. The police have launched an investigation into this hate crime based on ethnicity.
The incident took place outside the popular restaurant "Augustine." Israeli citizens from Haifa, Lior Zeevi and Daniel Levi, were waiting in line when they were attacked by three men while speaking Hebrew. The attackers beat them and shouted insults against Israel, demanding that they "not conspire with Iran."
"I was hit as soon as I turned around, it was really brutal, and now I'm in severe pain. I can't chew anything, my jaw and back are really painful."
One of the victims said. Both Israeli citizens have been taken to the hospital for treatment.
The attackers have fled, and the police are actively searching for them. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan strongly condemned the incident:
"This is a despicable attack. I am closely communicating with Jewish community leaders and the police, and will promptly report the progress of the investigation."
He also pledged that San Jose would firmly support the Jewish community.
