Israeli attacks on Christians surge in occupied Jerusalem over three months —— Israeli Christians faced at least 83 attacks between April and June in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, with the overwhelming majority taking place in occupied Jerusalem, according to a report released on 3 July by Israel’s Religious Freedom Data Center (RFDC). The report documented 76 incidents, including 47 cases of Jews spitting at Christian clergy and worshippers, accounting for more than half of all recorded harassment. The RFDC said many attacks were carried out openly in public, with some perpetrators justifying their actions on camera, while others encouraged their children to spit at Christians. The center also recorded a rise in attacks during the annual Jerusalem Day Flag March, which marks Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem. It said harassment has sharply escalated since early 2023, citing assaults on clergy, restrictions imposed by Israeli police on Easter celebrations at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and continued attacks on Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank, and Gaza.
