Jewish activists in Frankfurt were assaulted while hanging posters of hostages held in Gaza at Grüneburgpark. The group was confronted by dozens of masked individuals, some wearing face coverings with the image of the German chancellor, and subjected to antisemitic insults and chants. The activists were attacked with red paint and physically shoved, with one reporting difficulty seeing after paint was poured over his glasses. Despite calls for a moment of silence for all victims of the war, the crowd responded only with hostility. Police have confirmed the incident and increased their presence in the area. This attack is part of a broader rise in antisemitic incidents in Germany since the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
