Question
My friend threw a ball at me (not during a game, and intentionally) after someone else had thrown it twice, he threw it again. I thought the first person threw it and I threw the ball at his face, breaking his glasses. Am I obligated to pay?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
You are obligated to pay.
Even if you had actually thrown it at the friend who threw the ball at you, you would still be obligated to pay.
