Arson attack on Wuppertal synagogue days before Yom Kippur; German officials investigate

An arson attack targeted the Wuppertal synagogue just before Yom Kippur, prompting the Central Council of Jews to voice alarm. The timing suggests a deliberate act of antisemitic violence, though no group has claimed responsibility and the investigation is ongoing. This marks a concerning escalation in anti-Jewish incidents in Germany during a period of heightened communal tension.
