The Federal Association of Departments for Research and Information on Antisemitism (RIAS), which records incidents of antisemitism in Germany, released its latest report Tuesday, documenting nearly 1,000 cases of aggression toward Jews in the country since the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7.

RIAS’ most recent report tracked antisemitic incidents in Germany between October 7 and November 9, tallying an average of 29 per day.

Antisemitic graffiti, the marking of Jewish homes and institutions and brutal physical attacks were among the incidents recorded.

Overall, the occurrence of such incidents has risen 320% year-on-year compared to the same period in 2022.

RIAS says during that period it looked at 994 verified cases — including three cases of extreme violence, 29 attacks, 72 incidents of targeted property destruction, 32 threats, 4 antisemitic mass mailings and 854 cases of injurious behavior.

The 854 cases of injurious behavior included 177 antisemitic gatherings.
