Elderly man beaten for removing banner supporting Rabin’s killer, suffers brain bleed

A 75-year-old former Israeli Defense Forces lieutenant colonel named Ilan Manes was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage after being assaulted by a group of youths for removing a banner that supported the release of Yigal Amir, the far-right activist who assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. The incident occurred near his home in Mevasseret Zion, and footage of the attack showed the youths dragging and kicking him. Despite filing a complaint with the police, no arrests have been made within a week. Manes experienced neurological symptoms two days after the assault, leading to his hospitalization at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem, where he was expected to undergo brain surgery. His daughter described the attack as unexpected and severe, noting that her father had personally attended the 1995 peace rally where Rabin was assassinated.
