Neo-Nazis attacked a 70 year old woman who was walking on the bridge connecting the Meridian Hotel and the Neve David neighborhood in Haifa Monday morning. They beat her and shouted out "Heil Hitler," in the latest of a series of Nazi attacks since the arrest of a Nazi gang in Petach Tikva 10 days ago.
The victim said that two youths accosted her. One kicked her, causing her injuries, and the other gave a Nazi salute and shouted out "Heil Hitler." She was able to escape when a street sweeper stepped in to help her, but not before he, too, was beaten.
Haifa Radio reported that a family from Neve Yosef, not far away from the scene of the attack, woke up this morning to find that their car's tires had been slit and that a huge swastika on top of a Star of David had been painted on it.
