Rabbi Shlomo Tawil, head of the Chabad House in Rosario, Argentina was assaulted on Sunday night.

Tawil was attacked by three youths, who began by hurling verbal abuse at the rabbi and then proceeded to beat him, striking his head and abdomen. They then threw him to the floor, kicked him, and trampled his hat.

According to local reports, neighbors came to the rabbi's aid and put an end to the attack, which is believed to have been motivated by anti-Semitism.

Gabriel Dobkin, president of the DAIA Jewish umbrella organization in Argentina, reported that Tawil, who has operated the Chabad House for the past three decades, was recovering well from his injuries and was surrounded by family.

"We're very disturbed this attack," Dobkin said.

"For the most part, there are [only] isolated incidents of anti-Semitic insults toward members of the community, but there has never been violence like this," he explained.

The attack on Tawil is the latest anti-Semitic incident reported in Argentina. Ten days ago, a swastika was spray-painted on a Jewish-owned hair salon in Buenos Aires. Neo-Nazi pamphlets were also distributed in the area near the salon.

In another incident, a cantor was attacked while returning home from Shabbat services.
