“You won’t survive this. This is the end of your life,” Tamar Ben-Haim, 30, had thought to herself during the violent attack.

An American Secret Service agent was detained by Israeli police and sent back to the U.S. after assaulting a woman outside of a Jerusalem pub on July 12. Victim Tamar Ben-Haim is now suing.
The off-duty agent was reportedly in town preparing for President Joe Biden’s visit the following day.
According to the lawsuit, the assailant, who was intoxicated, “held Tamar tightly, hit her on her chest, repeatedly, slapped her, causing her earring and earphone to fall to the ground.”
Ben-Haim thought these were her “last moments on Earth.”
Interviewed by Fox News shortly after the attack, she said that a “large man” punched her “over and over” like a “punching bag.”
“I was in total shock. He was so strong … I couldn’t even attempt to defend myself. In my head, I was thinking, ‘You won’t survive this. This is the end of your life,’” she said.
“你活不下去了。这是你生命的终结，”30 岁的 Tamar Ben-Haim 在暴力袭击中对自己说。 世界以色列新闻工作人员 一名美国特勤局特工于 7 月 12 日在耶路撒冷一家酒吧外殴打一名妇女后被以色列警方拘留并遣送回美国。受害者 Tamar Ben-Haim 现在正在提起诉讼。 据报道，这位下班的特工正在镇上为乔·拜登总统第二天的访问做准备。 根据诉讼，醉酒的行凶者“紧紧抓住塔玛尔，打她的胸膛，反复打她耳光，导致她的耳环和耳机掉到地上。” Ben-Haim 认为这是她“在地球上的最后时刻”。 袭击发生后不久，她接受了福克斯新闻的采访，她说一个“大个子”像“沙袋”一样“一遍又一遍”地打她。 “我完全震惊了。他是如此强大……我什至无法为自己辩护。在我的脑海里，我在想，‘你活不下去了。这是你生命的终结，’”她说。

The attack reportedly occurred in an alleyway at approximately 1 a.m. Ben-Haim screamed for help, and finally a man who had been accompanying the agent pulled him away.
Ben-Haim reported the incident to police. The man was detained by local authorities but released without charge and sent on a flight back to the U.S.

“The employee has returned to the United States,” the Secret Service told CBS News shortly after the attack. “In accordance with agency protocol, his access to Secret Service systems and facilities was suspended pending further investigation.”
“We hold all employees to the highest professional standards, and you are seeing the results of our strong culture of accountability,” U.S. Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi told the station, adding that the agents have mandatory annual “integrity training” and are taught about proper conduct before missions abroad.
According to the lawsuit, Ben-Haim was traumatized by the incident and now has trouble sleeping, along with anxiety, depression, headaches and difficulty breathing. She regularly sees both a psychologist and a psychiatrist to help her cope, she claims.
Ben Haim’s attorney Marc Zell argued that the Secret Service is protecting her assailant, the New York Post reported.
“Defendant — as well as defendant’s employer — is attempting to evade justice by refusing to disclose his identity,” the suit charges.
Ben-Haim said she has filed a request for the attacker’s identity to be revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, which the Secret Service has denied, the Post reported, adding that she has an appeal pending.

“This is not someone from a Third World country. America is the example of the world, and he works for the president,” Ben-Haim told Fox. “They just shipped him back to where he came like nothing ever happened, and they expect me to just move on with my life.”
Ben-Haim 认为这是她“在地球上的最后时刻”。 袭击发生后不久，她接受了福克斯新闻的采访，她说一个“大个子”像“沙袋”一样“一遍又一遍”地打她。 “我完全震惊了。他是如此强大……我什至无法为自己辩护。在我的脑海里，我在想，‘你活不下去了。这是你生命的终结，’”她说。 据报道，袭击发生在凌晨 1 点左右的一条小巷中。Ben-Haim 大声呼救，最后一名一直陪同特工的男子将他拉走。 Ben-Haim 向警方报告了这一事件。这名男子被地方当局拘留，但在没有受到指控的情况下获释，并被送上返回美国的航班。 ISAAC HERZOG 应邀在国会联席会议上发言 “这名员工已经返回美国，”特勤局在袭击发生后不久告诉 CBS 新闻。 “根据机构协议，他对特勤局系统和设施的访问被暂停，等待进一步调查。” “我们要求所有员工都遵守最高的专业标准，你会看到我们强大的问责文化的结果，”美国特勤局通信主管 Anthony Guglielmi 告诉电视台，并补充说特工们每年都要接受强制性的“诚信培训”，并且在出国任务之前教导正确的行为。 根据诉讼，Ben-Haim 因事件受到创伤，现在睡眠困难，伴有焦虑、抑郁、头痛和呼吸困难。她声称，她经常去看心理医生和精神科医生来帮助她应对。 据纽约邮报报道，本海姆的律师马克泽尔辩称，特勤局正在保护袭击她的人。 “被告——以及被告的雇主——试图通过拒绝透露自己的身份来逃避司法制裁，”诉讼指控道。 Ben-Haim 表示，她已根据《信息自由法》提出要求披露攻击者身份的请求，但特勤局拒绝了这一请求，据邮报报道，并补充说她有待上诉。 美国对以色列选举反应冷淡 “这不是来自第三世界国家的人。美国是世界的榜样，他为总统工作，”本-哈伊姆告诉福克斯。 “他们只是把他送回他来的地方，就像什么都没发生过一样，他们希望我继续我的生活。”
