In its statement late on Thursday, the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities recalled that this was the fourth serious anti-Semitic incident at this synagogue in the past 25 years, adding that the current attack was “the most serious”.
In terms of the security of Jews in Hungary, the federation said it was “watching with concern” the number of anti-Semitic crimes, which it said had increased “dramatically worldwide in recent years”.
According to state news wire MTI, Mazsihisz expressed its sympathy with the relatives of the victims and those who sustained injuries in “the horrific and tragic attack”.
