Israelis traveling in Mongolia were attacked during their travels on Monday by a group wielding axes and knives, according to Israeli public broadcaster KAN News.<\/p>\n
The aggressors, who were local Kazakh Muslims according to KAN, also shouted “heil Hitler” and “get out of here” as they attacked the Israelis.<\/p>\n
The tourist<\/a> group, three men and three women, were at a campsite and preparing to stay overnight when the attack began, KAN reported.<\/p>\n The three men in the group, who had previously served as IDF<\/a> combat soldiers, were able to fend off the attackers long enough for the group to flee. One used a glass bottle to ward off an attacker, and another subdued an attacker with methods not divulged to KAN. The third Israeli tourist was less successful and received a hard blow to the face, resulting in a fractured jaw. He was flown to Israel for medical treatment after the group escaped the attackers, KAN reported, adding that the tourists informed the Israeli embassy in China<\/a> and were in regular contact with the ambassador and embassy staff following the incident.<\/p>\n
