Another brutal incident occurred at the Holocaust memorial in Berlin, where a 19-year-old Syrian refugee attacked a Spanish tourist with anti-Semitic intentions. The 30-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries to his neck and had to be operated on, his condition is now stable. The perpetrator was arrested only hours after the attack. According to the Berlin public prosecutor, there is an anti -Semitic motive, and the investigation indicates a planned murder of Jews. According to reports, the perpetrator, who came to Germany as an unaccompanied minor refugee in 2023, had in addition to the alleged murder weapon, a knife, a Koran and a prayer carpet in his backpack, which indicates a religious motivation. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser condemned the act as cruel and demanded the direct deportation of the perpetrator, as juedische-allgemeine.de
