      Paris: 3 Bnei Akiva Attacked by Muslims


      Three Bnei Akiva counselors were attacked by Muslims Saturday on a street in Paris' 19th District, in the city's northeast end. The youths were outside a Bnei Akiva branch, and were about to go on a joint Bnei Akiva – Jewish Agency (JA) activity. They are now hospitalized with fractures, mostly in the area of the face. Their condition is not life-threatening.

      According to Rafi Zaush, who represents Bnei Akiva and the JA: "The attackers threw chestnuts at the boys. One of the boys asked: 'Why are you attacking us?'. The attackers answered with anti-Semitic shouts in Arabic. The three attackers then brought a group of 10 to 12 youths with brass knuckles who attacked the Jewish youths until the police came. The attackers fled."
