The Times of Israel reports that the German government has recorded more than 1,100 offenses in relation to the Israel-Gaza conflict since Hamas launched its deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The majority of these offenses occurred in Berlin. The recorded offenses included bodily harm, breaches of the peace, incitement to hatred and damage to property.
In addition, the head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, explained to DW that the Israel-Hamas war has caused an increased sense of insecurity and fear among Jews in Germany.
