In Berlin, a synagogue was attacked with Molotov cocktails as antisemitic incidents rise in the aftermath of the Middle East conflict. The Kahal Adass Jisroel community confirmed the assault on their Mitte neighborhood synagogue. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vehemently condemned the attack, emphasizing that attacks on Jewish institutions would not be tolerated. Germany's Central Council of Jews expressed shock, linking the incident to the influence of Hamas's antisemitic ideology in Germany. The synagogue complex also houses a kindergarten and community center. Following the surge in antisemitic incidents, security for Jewish institutions has been heightened in Berlin and across Germany.
