Nadav Abbas suffered a head cut after a man threw a large glass beer mug at the i24NEWS cameraman while he and reporter Yonatan Raveh filmed in Belfast.
Video shared by i24NEWS showed the man turning hostile after realizing the crew worked for an Israeli network, shouting abuse, trying to grab their camera equipment and following them as they sought help.
The crew cleaned Abbas' wound at a nearby bar, determined he did not need further medical treatment and later returned safely to Israel.
The attack happened while the Hebrew-language team was shooting a documentary series on rising antisemitism in Europe, underscoring the subject they were reporting on.
