Ahmed Al-Husseini, a Palestinian man, recounted the harrowing experience of being attacked by a mob of ultra-Orthodox youths near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem two days prior. Al-Husseini was on his way to work when the group, motivated by racist intentions, assaulted him without provocation. Despite suffering broken ribs and being released from the hospital, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
In a televised interview, Al-Husseini described his feelings of distress and helplessness during the assault, stating, "Not soldiers, not police, no one tried to help." He emphasized that the attackers' stated intention was to "catch Arabs," highlighting the xenophobic nature of the violence.
The incident has drawn attention to rising tensions and instances of hate crimes in the city. Al-Husseini's account underscores a perceived lack of security and intervention from authorities during the attack, leaving him feeling abandoned and vulnerable.
