In depth

The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism published a report on attacks against Jewish institutions around the world. According to Behadrei Haredim, despite a decline in the number of hoax threats and remote harassment, there was a sharp rise in deadly violence, including the use of gunfire, arson and ramming attacks against worshippers. According to Walla, the report reveals an increase in attacks using lethal weapons, despite a decline in the number of incidents in the US.

In Berlin, senior security officials from Germany, the US and other countries gathered in a synagogue that survived Kristallnacht thanks to a German policeman. According to Israel Hayom, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor who arrived from Israel warned that the same hatred of Jews continues to exist.
