Three Israelis Beaten in Koh Samui Bar After Speaking Hebrew

Witnesses describe antisemitic slurs, with allegations that bar security joined the attackers during the assault.

Overview

  • Two victims were hospitalized with serious injuries, including broken ribs, damaged teeth, and a vertebral injury, according to a family member.
  • Initial accounts say the assailants confronted the tourists after overhearing Hebrew and shouted threats such as “Itbah al‑Yehud” and “You’re IDF.”
  • Attackers were described in reports as French tourists of North African origin or men with Arabic accents, though their identities have not been confirmed by authorities.
  • Witnesses allege venue security sided with the attackers and used batons, and reports say Thai police offered limited on‑scene response with no formal statement issued so far.
  • Two Israeli women aided the injured at the hospital and helped file a police report, while the third victim’s status remains unclear as repatriation efforts are coordinated.
