A resident of Jaffa, a city known for its coexistence between Jews and Arabs, claims he was severely beaten in the city's port area due to his sexual orientation. The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, described the incident on social media, stating he was attacked after attending a concert with his friend Erel. He alleges that a man began shouting homophobic slurs at him, and when he responded, the attacker used a helmet to assault him, hitting him repeatedly in the head. The victim claims four to five additional men joined the assault, with one attempting to stab him with a broken glass bottle.
