Italy's Prosecutors Investigate an Attack on a Jewish Man and His Young Son as a Possible Hate Crime

LAINATE, ITALY, JUL 28 – The attack involved up to 20 individuals using antisemitic slurs and physical violence against a father and son, amid a near doubling of such incidents in Italy last year.

  • On Jul 29, prosecutors in Italy launched an inquiry into an attack at a highway rest area north of Milan, targeting a Jewish father and his six-year-old son with insults and physical violence.
  • Amid the service area's crowd, witnesses said a man shouted `Free Palestine` on Sunday evening at about 20 kilometers north of Milan, leading to an attack on a Jewish tourist and his son.
  • Amid the commotion, his glasses were broken, and the father was pushed to the ground during the altercation with the attackers.
  • Authorities are reviewing video footage and testimonies to determine whether hate crime charges apply, following Daniele Nahum's statement that `the antisemitic situation is becoming unmanageable` on Monday.
  • The Milan-based Antisemitism Observatory reported antisemitic incidents in Italy nearly doubled during 2023, raising social media concerns during the summer travel season.
