Police in the city of Derry are investigating an attack on a Jewish-owned business as a hate crime, the Belfast Telegraph reported on Monday.

Perpetrators of the attack painted graffiti on the owner's business. This incident comes on the heels of other acts of antisemitism in Northern Ireland, following a similar global rise of antisemitism amid violence between Israel and Gaza-based terrorist organizations.

In Belfast, a synagogue was threatened with being picketed if the local Jewish community refused to condemn Israeli operations in Gaza, which ended up disrupting Shavuot services. The synagogue ultimately held services with only 10 congregants, the minimum amount needed to conduct services, after other congregants expressed concerns about attending.
