Two Israelis chased, kicked during vacation in Montenegro in apparent antisemitic attack - report
The two Israelis, Yoav and Dor, told N12 that they were visiting a casino when a man approached them, made conversation, and then asked where they were from.
Two Israelis, Yoav and Dor, were reportedly targeted during a vacation in Montenegro for being Jewish, according to a report by N12. The incident unfolded when the two tourists were at a casino. A man approached them, struck up a conversation, and then asked where they were from. Upon revealing they were from Israel, Yoav recounted, their ordeal escalated as the man refused to leave them alone and even offered to take them to a "much nicer casino."
The pair suspected something was amiss when they noticed him being familiar with the locals at the tables around them. After escaping the casino, they were confronted by a group of approximately 15 individuals, who launched a chase, resulting in an ambush that seemed planned from the outset. Yoav managed to find refuge in a private garden, where he was able to contact his parents. In contrast, Dor was forced to flee down a main road, where he was ultimately caught and subjected to being kicked by the mob.
With his last ounce of strength, Dor managed to escape the attackers and reach the hotel, where he waited for Yoav to make contact with his parents. The Foreign Ministry was promptly informed about the incident, with Yoav's mother praising the ministry's swift and supportive response. The Ministry's department for Israelis abroad and the Israeli consulate in Serbia, responsible for the Montenegro sector, collaborated with local law enforcement to ensure the safety of the two young victims. An investigation by Montenegrin authorities is currently underway.
