Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld filed an assault lawsuit against anti-Israel protestors on Wednesday who allegedly damaged his ears in an attempt to drown out his payers.
FIRST ON FOX -- A prominent Washington D.C. area rabbi has filed an assault lawsuit against anti-Israel protesters, who allegedly damaged his ears while blasting 'bullhorns, sirens and loudspeakers' in an attempt to drown out his prayers. Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld alleges that he 'suffered acute acoustic trauma and other harm' when confronted by anti-Israel protesters while he was praying in front of the Israeli Embassy on March 22.
Partial video from the encounter seen by Fox News Digital shows a man taunting Herzfeld, waving a Palestinian flag in his face as he tried to pray while loud sounds can be heard. According to the complaint, the sound level had reached the 95-100 dB range. 'Damage to hearing can be expected from sounds as low as 80-85 dB. Sounds in the 100 dB range can result in measurable hearing loss after only 15 minutes of exposure.

Trade Volume Between Türkiye and Israel Declines SignificantlyThe trade volume between Türkiye and Israel has declined significantly since Israel's invasion of Gaza began last year, data from the Turkish Trade Ministry suggests. From October 7 to March 20 this year, the total Türkiye-Israel trade volume fell by nearly 33 percent, according to information compiled by the Figures sourced from the Trade Ministry and compiled by Anadolu reveal a substantial 33 percent decrease in Türkiye's trade interaction with Israel from October 7, 2023, to March 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Türkiye's exports to Israel fell 30 percent, while its imports decreased by 43.4 percent. Turkish nationals and companies have been gradually cancelling sales and orders with Israel, while trade is mostly with private firms, including some international ones, rather than state enterprises. Goods sent from Türkiye to Palestine pass through Israel and its customs gates due to Palestine's lack of its own customs facilities. Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel." In addition, Israel does not recognise legal relations between Palestine and third countries, while it refuses to allow commercial transactions through the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt.
