A rabbi from the Hesder Yeshiva in Jaffa, Nataniel Avitan, was assaulted on Yefet Street when an Arab assailant allegedly punched him in the face, knocked him to the ground, cursed him, and fled while shouting "Allahu Akbar," according to the yeshiva and local reports.

The rabbi filed a police complaint and was treated in light condition before being taken to Ichilov Hospital. Police say they launched searches to locate the suspect and are examining the circumstances, as the yeshiva demands immediate action to restore security for Jewish residents in Jaffa. The rabbi is an active reservist who was recently wounded in Gaza.
