On Thursday morning, the Graz synagogue was once again hit with a glass bottle, the Jewish Community announced in a statement.

A cyclist threw the object into the courtyard of the guarded building and fled. The members of the community were in the synagogue at the time, so no one was injured. There had already been a similar incident in May.

Graz Synagogue Hit with Bottle Again: Incident Under Investigation

The Styrian police confirmed the throw late in the evening to the APA. It involves an as yet unknown perpetrator, and the incident is being investigated. It occurred on Yom Kippur, the highest Jewish holiday. Security measures have been increased as a result, it was said. Elie Rosen, President of the Jewish Community for Salzburg, Styria, and Carinthia, linked the attack to a trivialization of anti-Semitic acts.

The path "to Manchester" rarely happens in a leap, but almost always in small steps, said Rosen. He was referring to a deadly terrorist attack in the British city.
