Italian Jewish groups condemn vandalism of memorial plaque for terror victim

Jewish organizations in Italy have strongly condemned the vandalism of a memorial plaque honoring Stefano Gaj Tachè, a two-year-old victim of a 1982 terror attack, at the Beth Michael Synagogue in Rome. The plaque and synagogue walls were defaced with anti-Israel slogans and messages supporting Palestine, sparking outrage and calls for government action. Community leaders described the incident as a serious act of intimidation and a reflection of rising antisemitism in Rome, which has seen a series of similar attacks in recent months. Italian officials and international Jewish groups have expressed solidarity with the Jewish community and urged authorities to investigate the hate crime and protect Jewish sites.
