The victim, identified as Paul Kessler, was fatally assaulted on Westlake Boulevard, Ventura County, last Sunday.Mr. Kessler was involved in a heated altercation that broke out between him and a young pro-Palestine protester. The protester allegedly struck Mr. Kessler in the head with a megaphone, causing him to fall to the ground with a severe head injury.Equally horrified and concerned bystanders recounted the bloody scene, a sight further complicated by a woman holding a “Free Palestine” sign providing aid to Mr. Kessler. Emergency services were rapidly deployed to the site, and Kessler was immediately rushed to a North Los Angeles hospital, as reported by Ynet News.
Despite best attempts by the medical professionals, Mr. Kessler died due to his injuries Monday, local news outlet The Acorn confirmed.
Rabbi Avraham Berkowitz, providing first-hand account details, verified that the 65-year-old Jewish victim was indeed Paul Kessler.
