Two IDF soldiers in civilian clothing were viciously attacked by a group of Arab-Israeli men early Saturday near Haifa’s Rambam Hospital, with guards deployed in the area narrowly averting a lynching.

Police forces detained four suspects on suspicion of taking part in the assault and expect to make more arrests.

The uncle of one of the soldiers said the assailants asked the victims whether they were Jewish before attacking them.

“They beat the hell out of them, using bats and stones, and resorting to kicks,” the uncle said.
