CWN Editor's Note: A 36-year-old Israeli man was indicted on assault charges in connection with an attack on a religious sister in Jerusalem.
“Cases of Jews harassing Christians have risen sharply in recent years,” the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported. “Last month, the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] punished a soldier who was filmed bludgeoning a statue of Jesus in southern Lebanon. This week, the IDF also announced that it would discipline a different soldier who was seen placing a cigarette into the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary in a photo posted on social media.”
