Physical attacks against British Jews reached their highest six-month total ever, while antisemitic incidents targeting schools and synagogues also climbed to record levels, according to a report from Jewish Breaking News. The figures show an 82% surge in assaults compared to the same period last year.
The new figures, reported by Jewish Breaking News, update The Zioneer's earlier report at 02:13 today which noted the 82% surge in antisemitic assaults in the first half of 2026. The latest data adds that the six-month total is the highest ever recorded, and that attacks on Jewish schools and synagogues have also reached unprecedented levels.
The UK figures align with a broader pattern documented by The Zioneer, including a record 8,725 antisemitic incidents in Germany in 2025 and surveys showing that 57% of American Jews experienced antisemitism in the past year. The Foreign Ministry also reported a record number of antisemitic incidents against Israelis abroad in recent months.
The report describes anti-Jewish hatred in Britain as becoming "increasingly direct, aggressive and violent." The full data and methodology have not been independently verified by The Zioneer.
