The victim of an alleged anti-Semitic attack that took place in Ukraine last week was flown to Israel on Tuesday to receive treatment for his wounds.

Aharon Alexander Gorshonov, a 25-year-old yeshiva student, was identified by community members at a hospital in Kiev last Monday where was being treated for serious head wounds some 48 hours after he had disappeared.

"He was last seen leaving the synagogue with a white kipa on his head on the second night of Seder (Passover)," said Yaakov Zilberman, a member of the Jewish community and representative of Zaka, an emergency response group. "When we found him at the hospital his face was bloodied and his skull shattered. We recognized him by his circumcision."

Zilberman said Gorshonov went missing in the same area of Kiev where another member of the local Jewish community was brutally attacked by skinheads seven years ago.
