The attack took place as emotions have run high in the United States over the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, with U.S. officials and civil rights groups warning of increased threats against Jews, Muslims and Arab Americans since fighting broke out on Oct. 7. Kessler was involved in a physical altercation with counter-protesters, the sheriff's office said, citing witness accounts. It did not specify which side instigated the altercation.
