Greek police said today (May 5, 2018) that unknown assailants destroyed several Jewish headstones in a cemetery in a southwestern suburb of Athens, according to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website.
"Marble grave headstones were damaged in the Jewish part of the Nikaia cemetery," a police spokesman said.
The head of the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece (KIS), Minos Moissis, said he was "very angry" about the desecration, in a Facebook post.
The vandalism comes amid a wave of rising anti-Semitism in Europe, after a spate of recent incidents across the continent.
