A group of Israelis was attacked by a group of several young men in Budva, Montenegro, on Saturday, one of the victims told Israeli public broadcaster KAN News on Thursday.

"More than 10 young men cursed at us, kicked us, and threw chairs at us," the Israeli said.

One of the other victims suffered a broken jaw, they added.

An additional victim fainted due to the severity of the beatings received, the Israeli told KAN.

Earlier this month, a group of Israeli tourists visiting Plav, a town in northern Montenegro, was harassed by a pair of locals, according to an N12 report.

'Taking a break from genocide?'

In a video filmed by the man attacking the group, the couple can be heard saying, "Taking a break from genocide? You shouldn't be out traveling, stay in the place you call Israel." 

Following the tourists' attempts to halt the confrontation, the couple continued, "I know your mother who kills children," calling them "baby killers" who have committed "genocide."

The incidents follow El-Al's April announcement that flights to Tivat, a town in Montenegro's coastal region, would resume in May.
