The two ultra-Orthodox young men suffered mild injuries, and one of them had his glasses broken.
The defendant then shared the video with several of his friends, one of whom posted it to the TikTok social media site with the Arabic caption, “You will continue to delete and I will continue to upload. It’s either the Palestinian people or you.”
Upon filing the indictment, the prosecution also filed a motion to extend the travel restrictions that have been placed on the defendant since his release last month.
The video was one of roughly half a dozen clips that were shared on TikTok showing Arab Israelis assaulting Orthodox Jews and led to mass protests by the ultra-nationalist Israelis, including hundreds from the far-right Lehava group, whose members demonstrated near the Old City’s Damascus Gate where hundreds of Palestinians were gathered on an evening of Ramadan last month, leading to major clashes with police.
