Global Antisemitic Violence

Newly formed group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya has claimed responsibility for a series of nighttime explosions at Jewish-linked sites across Europe — including a blast at a school in Amsterdam (described by Dutch officials as the second antisemitic attack in two days), a synagogue in Rotterdam, a synagogue in Liège and an unspecified location in Greece. Israel’s foreign ministry has publicly linked the group to an Iranian proxy and security analysts suspect direction or backing from the IRGC or an Iraqi militia; the attacks have been relatively unsophisticated but accompanied by online propaganda videos that authorities fear could inspire copycat antisemitic violence.
