A teenager was assaulted at a senior Scouts camp in Victoria, Australia, after allegedly being targeted for wearing a kippah and an Israeli flag pin. The incident took place at Lardner Park in West Gippsland during an event attended by more than 1,500 youths and volunteers.

Police said the teen was walking through the park on Saturday afternoon when an unidentified individual approached him, verbally abused him over the kippah and flag, and demanded to know why he was carrying 'that flag.' The Anti-Defamation Commission reported that the attacker also accused Israel of 'killing children.' Authorities are investigating the incident.
