Video of attack on French nun in Jerusalem triggers global condemnation
A video showing a violent assault on a French Catholic nun in Jerusalem near Mount Zion drew swift condemnation from Israel and France. The attacker, who appears to be Jewish, pushed and later kicked the nun as she lay on the ground; she sustained grazing but no serious injuries. Israeli police arrested a 36-year-old man and pledged zero tolerance to protect people of all faiths. The incident underscores rising hostility toward Christian communities in Jerusalem and broader concerns about religious freedom and harassment, with figures from the Religious Freedom Data Centre suggesting underreported incidents.
