A young man identified as Idan claims he was brutally assaulted by a group of men in Tel Aviv's port area due to his sexual orientation. The incident allegedly occurred after Idan and his friend Erel attended a concert by Lihi Tולדano. Idan recounted that the attack began with homophobic slurs from one individual, escalating when Idan responded. The assailant then allegedly struck Idan with a helmet, and four to five other men joined in, kicking and punching him. Idan stated the attackers expressed a desire to kill him. He also claims one assailant attempted to stab him with a broken glass bottle. Erel's screams and attempts to film the incident, along with the approaching police sirens, may have contributed to the attackers fleeing the scene. Visual evidence from the location showed broken glass on the sidewalk, and police were seen detaining a suspect. Idan described his attacker's eyes as filled with "evil and hatred" and noted he was wearing his "favorite denim overalls" during the outing. The account was shared on social media by Eran Swissa.
