Back-to-Back Attacks Target Jewish Sites in La Plata

The response underscores concern about rising antisemitic violence in Argentina.

Overview

  • Two Jewish institutions in La Plata, hit Thursday and Sunday, reported no injuries in either attack.
  • The Israeli Literary Center and Max Nordau Library said a fuel-filled object smashed windows Thursday night but failed to ignite.
  • Provincial security officials and a specialized counterterrorism unit are investigating both cases and have not announced arrests.
  • DAIA condemned the incidents, and local Jewish sites tightened security in response.
  • The attacks echo a global rise in anti-Jewish incidents since February and recall Argentina’s 1992 embassy and 1994 AMIA bombings.
