Surge in Anti-Christian Violence in Jerusalem

Recent incidents in Jerusalem have highlighted a disturbing rise in anti-Christian hate crimes. Six individuals, including minors, were arrested after allegedly spitting at and throwing rocks towards the St. James Cathedral and the Armenian patriarchy in the Old City. Reports indicate that Israeli settlers also attacked the Armenian church, with suspects detained for their actions at the St. James Monastery in the Armenian Quarter. Witnesses have captured videos of individuals spitting on the monastery and targeting an Armenian woman, further intensifying concerns over the safety of Christian sites and communities in the region.
