Ilan Manes, a 75-year-old man, was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage after being assaulted last week for removing a banner calling for the release of Yigal Amir, the assassin of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The incident occurred at the Hemed Intersection on Route 1, near Mevasseret Zion, where Manes was reportedly dragged and kicked by several youths. Manes, a former IDF lieutenant colonel who attended the peace rally where Rabin was assassinated, experienced unresponsive limbs days after the assault, leading to his hospitalization and scheduled brain surgery. His daughter, Talia, stated he "lost consciousness several times yesterday." Police have not yet made any arrests in connection with the assault.
