An indictment for a hate crime was filed yesterday (Tuesday) against two men who attacked two Jewish men outside a restaurant in Los Angeles during Operation Guardian in May.
The accused drove in a trailer of pro-Palestinian supporters who stopped near a sushi restaurant in the west of the city.
According to testimonies published in the media at the time, the two threw bottles and shouted "Death to the Jews" and "Liberate Palestine" at diners sitting outside the restaurant.
At one point, they got out of the vehicle and began asking diners who they were - and even attacked two of them who confessed to being Jewish.

In a conversation that Jonathan Bar-El, the consul for public diplomacy at the consulate in Los Angeles, had at the time with "Israel Today," he said that it was "a rather unusual and disturbing event."
He said, "There is no doubt that there is a connection between this event and what is happening in Israel (Operation 'The Guardian of the Walls'). We often experience a leak between events in Israel and here in the form of antisemitic manifestations. The violence projected in relation to the community. "
