An elderly Jewish man was confirmed dead earlier this week as a result of injuries he sustained when confronted by pro-Palestinian protestors over the Israel-Hamas war.
69-year-old Paul Kessler, was rushed to the hospital and died early Monday morning after suffering a head injury during the Sunday demonstration in southern California, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, which noted it has “not ruled out the possibility of a hate crime.”
“No arrest have been made in the Mr. Kessler’s death investigation and there is no new information at this time,” a spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office told The Christian Post in a statement Thursday.

Witnesses at the event, which took place at an intersection in Thousand Oaks outside Los Angeles, claimed to have seen Kessler fall backward and strike his head on the ground, the sheriff’s office noted.
