Israelis traveling in Mongolia were attacked during their travels on Monday by a group wielding axes and knives, according to Israeli public broadcaster KAN News.
The aggressors, who were local Kazakh Muslims according to KAN, also shouted "heil Hitler" and "get out of here" as they attacked the Israelis.
The tourist group, three men and three women, were at a campsite and preparing to stay overnight when the attack began, KAN reported.
The three men in the group, who had previously served as IDF combat soldiers, were able to fend off the attackers long enough for the group to flee. One used a glass bottle to ward off an attacker, and another subdued an attacker with methods not divulged to KAN. The third Israeli tourist was less successful and received a hard blow to the face, resulting in a fractured jaw. He was flown to Israel for medical treatment after the group escaped the attackers, KAN reported, adding that the tourists informed the Israeli embassy in China and were in regular contact with the ambassador and embassy staff following the incident.

"More than 10 young men cursed at us, kicked us, and threw chairs at us," the Israeli said.
One of the other victims suffered a broken jaw, they added.
An additional victim fainted due to the severity of the beatings received, the Israeli told KAN.
