Brand attack on the synagogue in Berlin: horror after attempted serious arson

The attempted arson attack on a synagogue in Berlin has triggered a wave of indignation and outrage. Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned the attack and emphasized that attacks on Jewish facilities must not be tolerated. The Central Council of the Jews sees the attack on a continuation of the glorification of the Hamas terror on German roads. The police report that two hooded unknowns threw fire sets towards the synagogue on Wednesday night, but did not reach the building. Fortunately, nobody has been injured. It is known that there is a Jewish daycare center next to the synagogue. The presence of the police may have contributed to the fact that the perpetrators have not reached their goal. There are also reports of another incident in front of the synagogue, in which a 30-year-old man called anti-rising and anti-Israel slogans. The federal government and politicians of various parties have sentenced the attack to the sharpest and promised to do everything in their power in order to protect Jewish life and Jewish institutions. After the attempted attack, the community hopes for the solidarity of Berliners and civil society is called to solidarize with the Jewish community. The police union reports riots in the Neukölln district, in which more than 20 emergency services were violated. It is emphasized that the security measures have been increased and crimes were prevented or perpetrators have been arrested. The security authorities had thought of different scenarios and react accordingly. (Source: www.welt.de)
