Recent reports show a significant increase in attacks on Jewish targets across Western countries in recent weeks, with perpetrators citing the ongoing crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and other regions as their motivation.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that an attempted attack on the Bank of America in Paris, France, last Saturday was prevented, resulting in the arrest of three individuals. Police investigations revealed that a 17-year-old had been recruited for the plot through the Snapchat app.
Last week in London, Jewish community ambulances were targeted in arson attacks. Earlier this month in Amsterdam, Netherlands, a Jewish school was struck by an explosion, and two synagogues were attacked with explosives.
Responsibility for these attacks has been claimed by a newly formed group called Harakat Shabab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI), which is reported to receive support from Iran.
Beyond Europe, nearly three weeks ago, authorities prevented an attempted attack on a Jewish synagogue in Michigan, U.S., which was claimed by Hezbollah. The attacker, Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, a U.S. citizen of Lebanese descent, had obtained an AR‑style rifle, around 300 rounds of ammunition, and other essential equipment. The day before the planned attack, he posted photos on his Facebook album under the title “Revenge”.
