A group that tracks antisemitism in Germany has it recorded an overall increase of more than 80% in incidents last year, with well over half of the total coming after Hamas-led militants attacked Israel in early October.
The Federal Association of Departments for Research and Information on Antisemitism (RIAS) said it recorded 4,782 antisemitic incidents in 2023, ranging from anti-Jewish comments to attacks, compared with 2,616 in 2022.
