Summary

From New York to Los Angeles, an apparent uptick of antisemitic vandalism and incidents have been reported to police and shared on social media as deadly fighting escalated over the past two weeks in the Gaza Strip between Israelis and Palestinians.Mosques in the United States have reported damage in recent days, as well.And despite a bilateral cease-fire announcement taking hold early Friday between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, a move quickly welcomed by President Joe Biden and other world leaders, tensions continued to flare in the U.S. overnight during chaotic pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrations."We understand that every nationality stands with their country and there's freedom of speech in America — we respect that," Hamaoui said. Other videos show confrontations in the nearby Diamond District, where Jewish store owners have had a longstanding presence, between passersby on the street and people in cars carrying Palestinian flags."I unequivocally condemn these brutal attacks on visibly Jewish New Yorkers and we will not tolerate antisemitic violent gang harassment and intimidation," Cuomo said in a statement.Former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords tweeted Thursday that her Tucson synagogue was vandalized and that "hate has no place in Arizona." NBC News could not immediately confirm details about the incident.Yesterday, my synagogue in Tucson was vandalized.
