(JTA) A French-Jewish man who was critically injured in a 2016 stabbing attack by a man who shouted about Allah succumbed to his injuries and died, his lawyer said.
Chalom Levy died on Dec. 29 in an airplane that took him to France from Israel, where he had just celebrated his daughter’s wedding, Actualite Juive reported Thursday. He was 65.
“He had never recovered from the attack, not physically or psychologically,” Levy’s lawyer, Raphael Nisand, said.
The attacker’s blade pierced Levy’s liver and one of his kidneys. The Tribune report suggested that Levy died of complications from that injury but did not indicate the exact cause of death.
The assault was the assailant’s second stabbing of a Jew in Strasbourg, France.
