Two Jewish children ages nine and ten were attacked and beaten by two Arab teenagers last Friday in Ramle.  The teens attacked the younger boy as the two made their way home from school, and attacked the older child when he attempted to help his younger brother.  The two managed to run away.  Both suffered injuries to their faces and limbs, and paramedics found traces of blood in one of the boys’ urine.  The boys’ father filed a report with police.

Neighbors who witnessed the attack from a distance said the attackers were two Arab Christian teens, both of whom are originally from Palestinian Authority-controlled cities.  The Arab boys were brought to Ramle with their families after a family member gave the IDF information regarding terrorist activities. 

The father of the boys who were attacked, who used to serve as a rabbi in eastern Europe, compared the attack on his sons to pogroms in Europe.  He called on the government to build houses for PA Arabs who are relocated for safety reasons in the south, and not in Jewish neighborhoods.
