Jewish children in the Raida district in Yemen were assaulted this week by Muslim youth angered by Israel's “Cast Lead” operation in Gaza. The attacks were reported in Jewish media in the United States.
The children were pelted with stones by Muslim children. One Jewish child was seriously wounded in the assault.
A leading figure in the Jewish community of Raida, Moussa Yaish, was recently murdered in an anti-Semitic attack, leading local Jews to demand of the government, “Protect us or deport us.” Plans to relocate the Jews of Raida are underway.
