French tourists reportedly chased them into the restroom, forced the door open, and demanded they turn over the contents of their pockets.
Pictures shared on social media showed the Israelis' bleeding wounds in the aftermath.

In a separate incident, an Israeli was arrested by Thai authorities after being caught with over 50 million baht (five million shekels) worth of drugs, the Bangkok Post reported on Tuesday.
The Israeli, Shai Alfasi (42) owned the Lola bar and restaurant in the Hat Hin Kong area of Ko Pha Ngan island.
Tourist Police Commissioner Lt.-Gen. Saksira Phueak-um told the Bangkok Post that Alfasi was suspected of conducting his operation via WhatsApp.
Customers would order through the app, and then be texted directions to a location where the drugs would be hidden inside black socks, Phueak-um explained to the Bangkok Post, adding that photos of the locations would also be sent.
Alfasi was caught by police pretending to be Hebrew-speaking buyers, who arranged to purchase 6,000 baht worth of ketamine, and then followed him to the prearranged pickup location for his payment.
A search of Alfasi's luggage, as well as hidden compartments in his restaurant, revealed large quantities of drugs, including three kg of cocaine, three kg of ketamine, 3.5 kg and 262 tablets of MDMA, 1.7 kg of LSD, 15 grams of heroin, 58 grams of magic mushrooms, and four labubu-shaped ecstacy pills.
