Moroccan man arrested in Naples for planning attack on Jews, police say

A Moroccan ISIS member planning to attack the Naples Jewish community was arrested by the Italian General Investigations and Special Operations Division (DIGOS), the Italian State Police announced on Wednesday.

The investigation that began in the summer revealed communications that the 30-year-old had expressed his desire to obtain a knife to carry out an attack.

In March an Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades cell of three Palestinian men were arrested for planning terrorist attacks in an unspecified country, Reuters reported. One of the men in the l'Aquila terrorist cell was wanted by Israel.

Rising antisemitism in Italy since the October 7 Massacre has broken out into violence, with Media Line reporting that during a riot against alleged police brutality, attackers targeted a Bologna synagogue with Molotov cocktails and fireworks.

“Justice for Gaza” was scrawled on the wall of the Jewish house of worship.
