This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Kahal Adass Jisroel community said its synagogue in the city’s Mitte neighborhood was attacked with two incendiary devices.
“Unknown persons threw two Molotov cocktails from the street,” the community wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Germany’s leading Jewish group said two people were involved in the attack, but didn’t give any further details.
Following Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and the subsequent war in Gaza, police have increased security for Jewish institutions in Berlin and all over Germany.
Still, Israeli flags that were flown as a sign of solidarity in front of city halls all over the country have been torn down and burnt.
Several building in Berlin where Jews live had the star of David painted on doors and walls.
