Arab Worker Injures Jewish Boss with Hammer

(IsraelNN.com) An Arab construction worker attacked a Jewish contractor with a hammer at a construction site at Masuot Yitzchak near Kiryat Malachi. The contractor suffered moderate wounds.

According to Rafi Ben-Tal, the security coordinator at Masuot Yitzchak, two workers were standing on the roof of a house when one of them jumped on the Jewish contractor and began hitting him with the hammer. The attacker and the other worker then escaped.

The wounded boss said there was no way to explain the motive for what happened. “He was suddenly possessed by some kind of demon,” he said.
