Synagogue in Slovenia defaced with nazi graffiti amid rise in antisemitism across Europe
The Jewish Community Centre in Ljubljana, Slovenia, which hosts one of the oldest Jewish communities in Europe, was defaced with antisemitic graffiti.
The European Jewish Congress posted a picture on Thursday that showed vandals had defaced the doors of the centre with a swastika in Ljubljana.
This latest attack comes as antisemitic incidents continue to rise across Europe, following Hamas's attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent bombardment of Gaza.
It is horrible to see that the Jewish Community Centre and theater in Ljubljana, Slovenia has been defaced with antisemitic graffiti.

The building also hosts the local synagogue and the Museum of the History of the Holocaust in Slovenia.
