On Pangangan Island, an Israeli Woman and Her Daughter Were Beaten - A 62-year-old woman and her 23-year-old daughter sustained serious injuries on Pangangan Island after a conversation with a man who asked where they were from. Upon learning that the women were from Israel, the man spoke about the war in Gaza.

They responded that they were on vacation and did not want to discuss this topic. The conversation ended.

But a few minutes later, the man returned and, according to the victim, suddenly attacked them. He beat the mother, bit her ear, and then hit her daughter, who tried to protect her.

The woman suffered head trauma and lost consciousness. Both were taken to the hospital.

After examination, it was found that the mother required surgery due to bleeding in her brain. Later, both were transported from Pangangan to Samui.

The mother spent a day in intensive care, while her daughter underwent nasal surgery. The doctors operated on the woman's ear and admit there may be another surgical intervention needed.

The suspect, a French citizen, was later involved in another incident and, according to the victim, attacked police officers. After the daughter’s testimony, law enforcement identified him as the same person.

⚠️ The women believe that the attack might have been triggered by their conversation about the war in Gaza. The mother admitted that after the incident, she became more cautious about where and whom she tells about her origins.
