Spitting, Hitting Attacks on Christians are Surging in Israel

A recent upsurge in spitting and hitting attacks on clergy, and vandalism of Christian sites in Israel.The most recent attacks led Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Israeli Police Commissioner, Maj.-Gen. Yaakov Shabtai, to meet leaders of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches of the Holy Land. "In recent months," Herzog said, "We have seen very serious phenomena towards the Christian denominations in the Holy Land. Our brothers and sisters, Christian citizens, who feel attacked in their places of prayer, in their cemeteries, on the streets." Christians in Jerusalem's Old City say they are often harassed, spit at, and even physically attacked by religious Jewish youths.
