A 30-year-old man has been charged in Belfast, Northern Ireland, following an alleged attack on an Israeli i24NEWS journalism crew. The incident occurred earlier this month while reporter Yonatan Raveh and cameraman Nadav Abbas were filming a documentary on rising antisemitism in Europe. The attacker reportedly overheard the crew identifying as Israeli, then shouted "f*** Israel" before throwing a glass beer mug at Abbas, hitting him in the head. The man faces multiple charges, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon. Democratic Unionist Party leader Gavin Robinson condemned the assault, stating, "There can be absolutely no justification for violence or intimidation directed towards journalists because they are Israeli or Jewish."
