One possibility is that the German thugs heard the young Israeli speaking, even in the event he was speaking in English. The Israeli accent is easily recognizable, albeit I prefer not to elaborate out of safety concerns.
Single-use 'surgical' masks are of limited benefit and are bad for the environment.
"Many consumer masks appear similar and may be labeled “surgical” masks, but if not formally certified, their performance cannot be predicted. While surgical masks reduce respiratory aerosols, culture-positive SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in exhaled air from loose-fitting surgical masks ... The pore size in typical non-woven materials used in surgical masks and respirators is larger than many viruses like SARS-CoV-2 (65–125 nm in diameter)"
A number of reviews published since 2022 have documented the environmental impact of these products. One estimated that 15 trillion face masks are used globally every year, resulting in 2 megatons of waste ... Single-use masks and respirators are typically made from synthetic polymers including polypropylene, polyester, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polymeric nanofibers and microfibers, which are not biodegradable"
