A historic synagogue in Odesa, Ukraine, suffered significant damage after being struck by a Russian drone, igniting a large fire in the building. The Nachlas Eliezer Synagogue, built in 1898, has long been a center for the city's Jewish community and is among several Jewish sites affected by recent bombardments. No injuries were reported, but the attack has drawn condemnation from Jewish leaders, who called on European officials to denounce the targeting of religious and historical sites. Despite ongoing threats, many Jewish leaders and clergy in Ukraine have vowed to remain and continue their work, underscoring the resilience of the community amid the ongoing conflict.
