The Greek Orthodox Church has issued a warning following a series of attacks targeting Christians in Jerusalem, with authorities arresting a Jewish man this week for a brutal assault on a nun.
The incident, which occurred in the Old City, has heightened tensions in an already fragile environment. Church officials expressed alarm over what they perceive as a growing pattern of violence against Christian clergy and worshippers in the holy city.
In a statement, the church called on Israeli authorities to ensure the safety of religious minorities and to take stronger measures to prevent such attacks. The arrested suspect is being held pending further investigation.
