A 9-year-old Armenian child was attacked in Israel.

In Jerusalem, on Yom Kippur, Israeli Jewish extremists sprayed pepper spray at William, a 9-year-old Armenian Christian boy, while he was riding his bicycle. This was reported by Gegham Balyan, a correspondent for the Armenian multimedia news outlet 301.

The source reports that the child was listening to music when men approached him in a threatening manner and demanded he remove his headphones.

Upon hearing him speak English, one of the men said, "Don't speak English—they're Jews," and attacked him.

In the circulated video, the mother can be heard trying to calm 9-year-old William, assuring him that his little sister, Arev, is safe.

Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּיפּוּר‎) is also known as the "Day of Atonement" or the "Day of Judgment." It is the holiest, most important, and most solemn day in Judaism. This year, it was observed from sunset on September 20 until nightfall on September 21.
