Inbar Touizer reported Monday evening that the Yashar party issued a statement wishing a speedy recovery to activist Ilan Mans, who was severely beaten last Friday while trying to remove a sign calling for the release of Yigal Amir. The party called on Israel Police to immediately arrest the attackers and bring them to justice, according to Touizer's report on N12.
The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, issued a statement Monday evening calling on Israel Police to immediately arrest the assailants who severely beat activist Ilan Mans last Friday. Mans, who was attempting to remove a sign calling for the release of Yigal Amir — the assassin of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin — was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage. The party's statement, reported by journalist Inbar Touizer on N12, wished Mans a speedy recovery and demanded that the attackers be brought to justice.
The Zioneer initially reported on Monday at 12:26 Jerusalem that a man had been attacked, with early accounts placing the incident on Monday; subsequent reports clarified that the attack occurred on Friday. Later that day, Touizer released footage documenting the assault, and the Yashar party's call for action was published. The attack has drawn attention due to the sensitive nature of the sign, which has been a recurring flashpoint.
Inbar Touizer, the journalist who broke the story, was previously identified as the activist who re-hung a similar sign calling for Yigal Amir's release on Highway 1 on July 26, as The Zioneer reported. The incident has sparked debate over public displays related to the Rabin assassination.
It remains unclear who attacked Mans, and whether the Israel Police has opened an investigation or made any arrests. No further updates on Mans' condition have been reported since the initial hospitalization.
