Controversy over Israel's 'Christian hate crime': nun is shoved over
and repeatedly kicked in Jerusalem after fury over Jesus statue
sledgehammer attack .
THIS is the
shocking moment a defenceless nun is brutally attacked by a man in
the heart of Jerusalem.
Harrowing CCTV
footage shows the unsuspecting nun walking alone when a man suddenly
sprints towards her from behind and violently shoves her with full
force.
The nun, who
was wearing a tunic, is hurled to the floor and viciously kicked in
broad daylight.
She is seen
writhing in pain and clutching her head as the attacker walks away
then suddenly strides back towards her.
He begins to
repeatedly kick the stricken woman as she lies helplessly on the
ground.
The assault
only stops when a bystander rushes in to intervene.
The attack took
place in front of the Cenacle on Mount Zion – a deeply significant
religious site for both Christians and Jews.
Some Christians
believe Jesus held the Last Supper at this location.
Police
confirmed a suspect has now been arrested.
“The suspect,
a 36-year-old male, was identified and subsequently arrested by
police,” the force said, adding it viewed with “utmost severity”
any violent act “driven by potentially racist motives and directed
toward members of the clergy”.
Footage
released by police showed the nun visibly bruised, while the attacker
appeared to be wearing tzitzit – a garment associated with
observant Jewish men.
The Times of
Israel reported that the arrested suspect was Jewish.
The victim –
a 48-year-old nun – has been left deeply shaken by the ordeal.
Father Olivier
Poquillon said: “Yesterday, around 17.45 … she felt someone come
up behind her and throw her with full force onto a rock.
“While the
sister was on the ground, the man began to kick her repeatedly.”
He had earlier
blasted the incident as a “gratuitous assault”, describing it as
an “act of sectarian violence” and warning that “the scourge of
hatred is a common challenge”.
‘Pending the
judicial follow-up, we thank the people who came to the aid of our
sister during the attack she fell victim to, the diplomats, the
academics, and all those who provided their support,’ he wrote.
The French
Consulate in Jerusalem also issued a statement “strongly
condemning” the attack.
Israel’s
foreign ministry branded the assault a “shameful act”, insisting
the country remains committed “to safeguarding freedom of religion
and freedom of worship for all faiths”.
The Faculty of
Humanities at Hebrew University said it was not an isolated case,
warning of a “troubling pattern” of hostility towards Christians.
A European
diplomatic source echoed those fears, claiming anti-Christian abuse –
including insults and spitting at clergy – has become a daily
occurrence.
Wadie
Abunassar, coordinator of the Holy Land Christian Forum, said attacks
targeting Christians are on the rise – but warned perpetrators
often escape serious consequences.
He said he felt
“great anger on the system and great sadness because I feel that
this will not end anytime soon”.
“Many times
in such cases there are no arrests and if there are arrests,
sometimes after one or two days, [suspects] are released,” he
added.
“In some
cases, the police do not recommend the prosecution to file charges or
to indict them. And in some cases, when there is indictment, the
indictment is mild.”
Meanwhile,
authorities said those involved in the sledgehammer attack would face
disciplinary action, while efforts were underway to restore the
damaged statue.
Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also condemned the act, saying: “I
condemn the act in the strongest terms.”

On a vast,

home after their plan failed to cross one of the world's deadliest
migration routes from Africa to the Gulf.Their faces drawn, their

On a vast,

home after their plan failed to cross one of the world's deadliest
migration routes from Africa to the Gulf.
Their faces
drawn, their bodies emaciated, some had not eaten in days. A few
withered acacia trees offer the only occasional shade in Djibouti's
April "winter", when temperatures still hit 35C.
Jemal Ibrahim
Hassan hoped to find work in one of the wealthy Gulf monarchies by
travelling from Djibouti on the Horn of Africa to Yemen across the
narrow but deadly Bab-el-Mandab Strait.
Like the vast
majority of migrants, Hassan comes from neighbouring Ethiopia, a
country of 130 million people beset by entrenched poverty and
multiple armed conflicts.
"We had no
place to stay in peace," said the 25-year-old former farmer when
AFP met him in northern Djibouti.

coastguard commander Ismail Hassan Dirieh with one of the boats
seized from smugglers.
He walked for
15 days, covering some 550 kilometres (340 miles), his feet "swollen
and blistered", before boarding an overcrowded boat. But it was
stopped by the coastguard and he ended up in a Yemeni detention
centre.
"There was
no food, nothing. We stayed there for eight days and they brought us
back," he said.
Jemal almost
died when a storm struck on the return journey, and was now walking
again, this time back to Ethiopia.
- Deadliest on
record -
Tens of
thousands of migrants brave this so-called Eastern Route each year,
most leaving from Djibouti, which lies just 30 kilometres from Yemen
at the closest point.
More than 900
died or disappeared along the route in 2025 -- the deadliest year on
record, according to the UN International Organization for Migration
(IOM).
The latest
shipwreck in late March left at least nine dead and 45 missing when a
boat capsized near Obock.
Many Ethiopians
do not survive the gruelling trek to the coast
On board was
Zinab Gebrekristos, 20, who fled Tigray in northern Ethiopia, an
unstable region that emerged from a bloody war in 2022.
She paid a
smuggler 50,000 birr ($320), a huge sum in a country where 40 percent
live below the poverty line. She was robbed of her money and phone en
route, and then had to wait three days on the Djibouti coast "without
food or water -- just the desert".
On the evening
of March 24, the smugglers crammed 320 people onto a small boat,
which quickly began to sink.
"Many
people died right in front of our eyes -- friends and family
members," said Zinab, speaking at an IOM-run centre in Obock. "I
can't even remember how I managed to get off."
- Bodies in the
sand -
At Gehere
beach, a regular departure point north of Obock, clothes, flip-flops
and shoes litter the sand.
Youssouf Moussa
Mohamed, head of IOM's Obock office, pointed to two mass graves on
the beach and said there were others nearby.
"More than
200 bodies are buried around here," he said.
These days,
they have permission to use the cemetery at Obock. Dozens more
unmarked graves bear witness to the horrors of the route.
The unmarked
graves of migrants at the cemetery in Obock
Some 98 percent
of the migrants Youssouf encounters are Ethiopian. Coming from a
landlocked country, most have never seen the sea before attempting
the crossing.
Between June
and August, temperatures climb to 45C, and violent sandstorms blind
migrants, leaving them lost in the desert. Some take their own lives
in despair.
"We
recovered about 20 bodies a month during the last hot season,"
said Youssouf.
The Djibouti
coastguard has increased patrols against smugglers, who are mostly
Yemeni, and a dozen seized boats were parked outside.
But with 200 to
300 migrants arriving in Obock every day, the coastguard and IOM
cannot cope.
"Each year
is more deadly than the last," said Youssouf. "And we don't
know how long it will continue."
- Abandoned on
the way -
Genet
Gebremeskel Gebremariam, 30, could not provide for her four children
and mother with the $1 to $2 she earned daily as a farm labourer in
Tigray.
She crossed the
desert and cliffs on foot with dozens of others.
"No one
picks up those who are tired or fall; they leave them behind. We were
forced to march like soldiers while being beaten with sticks from
behind. Many women grew weak from thirst and hunger and were left
behind in the desert," said Genet.
It was too much
for her and she decided to turn back.
More than 900
died on the Eastern Route last year, the deadliest on record
"Whether
it's day labour or domestic work, my former life is better than this
suffering," she said.
Others are too
desperate to give up.
Muiaz Abaroge,
19, from western Ethiopia, still hoped to reach Saudi Arabia.
"It's
frightening, but I have no other choice," he told AFP on the
road to Obock.
"I know
many people have perished, but I must get through this hardship."
When the US and Israel
decided to wage war against Iran, the Gulf States were caught
unawares. As Iran launched unprecedented attacks on its neighbours, a
period of regional stability and economic security came an end. For
Saudi Arabia, currently undergoing a major economic and social
transformation, the war could not have come at a worse time.

Walid Shoebat: Mystery Babylon Saudi Barbaria Destroyed: Good Bye, to
Bad Rubbish!
At least 65
Ethiopian migrants are at imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia
for drug-related offenses.
At least 65
Ethiopian migrants are at imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia
for drug-related offenses, Human Rights Watch said today. Saudi
authorities executed three others on April 21, 2026.
“Saudi
Arabia’s willingness to execute foreign migrants for nonviolent
offences following trials that denied them basic due process reflects
a profound disregard for their rights and lives,” said Nadia
Hardman, senior refugee and migrant rights researcher at Human Rights
Watch. “Saudi Arabia’s partners should urgently intervene before
it is too late.”
Human Rights
Watch interviewed three informed sources about the cases of three men
held in the Khamis Mushait detention facility in the Asir region of
Saudi Arabia. The sources said that all three explained they were
refugees, having fled the 2020-2022 armed conflict in Ethiopia’s
northern Tigray region, where the humanitarian situation remains
dire.
The sources
said that the three men used the dangerous migration route across the
Gulf of Aden, through Yemen, and into Saudi Arabia to seek work. They
said the men felt compelled to carry khat, a mild stimulant plant
native to parts of East Africa, to make money for the journey and to
survive. In at least one case, the sources said, a smuggler forced a
man to carry the plant from Yemen into Saudi Arabia as a condition of
facilitating his journey.
Cathinone, the
stimulant in khat, is banned in Saudi Arabia but legally permissible
and culturally consumed in parts of Ethiopia, as well as in Yemen.
The sources said that none of the men knew that carrying khat into
and within Saudi Arabia was illegal.
The sources
said that Saudi security authorities intercepted and arrested the
three men between 2023 and 2024, in the Abaha region, while they were
working, and transferred them to various detention facilities, and
finally to Khamis Mushait. The sources indicated the men had two or
three extremely brief group court hearings, some by video link. The
men had no legal representation or translators, and none were told
the charges against them.
The sources
said that security officials beat the men during the hearings and
forced them to sign documents they did not understand. A translator
appeared only in the final court hearing, solely to inform them that
they had been found guilty of drug smuggling and were being sentenced
to death. The sources quoted the judge as saying. “You will be an
example to others.”
The men have
been held inside Khamis Mushait for over two years with no
opportunity to appeal. They have no set execution date, but they are
among approximately 65 other Ethiopian men inside their cell all
sentenced to death for drug-related offenses, as well as Saudi men
held for murder and other serious crimes. The sources indicated the
men believe hundreds of other Ethiopians are in other cells. Media
have reported that over 200 Ethiopian men are awaiting the death
penalty in Khamis Mushait. Human Rights Watch cannot verify this
number.
On April 21,
informed sources said, Saudi prison guards took three fellow
detainees from their cell and told them they were going to a court
hearing. Prison guards later told the remaining detainees that the
three men had been executed, and they should inform their family
members, creating panic among the others. The detainees have not
received any visitors since the start of their detention and have not
had any communication with Ethiopian consular officials.
The informed
sources quoted one man as saying: “Last week, three of our friends
were killed, maybe today or the day after tomorrow they [Saudi
security officials] can kill me. Please help us.”
On April 21,
the Ministry of Interior issued a statement announcing the executions
of three Ethiopian nationals for “participating in smuggling
hashish” into Saudi Arabia.
Saudi
authorities have twice set a new record for the highest number of
executions in one year since monitoring began, with 345 executions in
2024 and 356 in 2025. Executions of foreign nationals for nonlethal
drug crimes drove the surge in executions in 2025.
Saudi Arabia
has executed more than 2,000 people since King Salman bin Abdulaziz
took the throne on January 23, 2015, and appointed his son Mohammed
bin Salman crown prince on June 21, 2017. Despite a 2018 pledge by
the crown prince to significantly curtail the use of the death
penalty, executions have accelerated, including the execution of
child defendants, disproportionate executions of foreign nationals,
and politically motivated executions of people exercising their right
to freedom of expression.
Human Rights
Watch opposes the death penalty in all circumstances because of its
inherent cruelty. Saudi Arabia’s use of the death penalty is
contrary to international human rights law, which upholds every human
being’s “inherent right to life” and limits the death penalty
to “the most serious crimes,” typically crimes resulting in death
or serious bodily harm.
In 2025,
nonlethal drug-related offenses account for approximately 68 percent
of the total executions. The United Nations Working Group on
Arbitrary Detention condemned Saudi Arabia’s practice, finding that
executions for drug-related offences are incompatible with
international human rights law and fall outside the scope of the
“most serious crimes.” The working group urged Saudi authorities
to reinstate a moratorium and emphasized that imposing the death
penalty for such offenses constitutes a clear violation of
international legal standards.
Hundreds of
thousands of Ethiopians live and work in Saudi Arabia. While many
migrate for economic reasons, many have fled serious human rights
abuses by their government, including during the recent, brutal armed
conflict in northern Ethiopia. Human Rights Watch has for years
documented a wide range of human rights abuses against migrants
taking the same route.
The detention
of migrants in deplorable facilities in Saudi Arabia is a
longstanding problem which Human Rights Watch has found amounts to
inhuman and degrading treatment. In 2023, Human Rights Watch found
that Saudi border guards had killed at least hundreds of Ethiopian
migrants and asylum seekers who tried to cross the Yemen-Saudi
border, which, if committed as part of a Saudi government policy to
murder migrants, would be a crime against humanity.
Saudi Arabia
should immediately cancel the death penalty for Ethiopian migrants
and review all sentences in line with Saudi Arabia’s international
obligations, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the UN
Convention against Torture.
The Ethiopian
Foreign Affairs Ministry and its representatives in Saudi Arabia
should urgently intervene with their Saudi counterparts and at a
minimum ensure that their nationals receive immediate consular
assistance. Saudi Arabia should ratify the 1951 Refugee Convention
and establish asylum procedures consistent with international
standard.
Concerned
governments should use their leverage to press Saudi Arabia to
abolish the death penalty or, at the very least, to reinstate a
moratorium on executions for drug-related offences.
“Saudi
Arabia’s extensive use of the death penalty is intertwined with
fundamental and systemic violations of defendants’ rights to due
process and a fair trial,” Hardman said. “The death sentences
should be commuted and the death penalty abolished.”

The burnt bone fragments
were one of three Homo sapien fossils discovered in the sediment of
the Faro Daba beds in the Dawaitoli Formation.
Evidence of
what may be the world’s oldest documented cremation, dating back
approximately 100,000 years, was found by archaeologists in
Ethiopia’s Afar Rift, according to a new study published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
The burnt bone
fragments were one of three Homo sapien fossils discovered in the
sediment of the Faro Daba beds in the Dawaitoli Formation. There,
erosion has slowly been revealing previously buried Stone Age
artifacts.
Initial
inspection of the fragments revealed evidence of intense heat,
including "extensive cracking, charring, discoloration, and
fragmentation,” according to the study, pointing toward what would
be considered today as an “intentional cremation involving fire
intensities exceeding what is observed in most bushfires."
However, the
study urged caution regarding this theory, given the extensive
evidence of “intensive burning documented at this very
archaeological locality.”
One of the
other two Homo sapien fossils, also dating back 100,000 years,
include "the most complete adult human skeleton from the African
Middle Stone Age” belonging to a large-bodied male.
While the
remains bear evidence of termite damage, there is no clear indication
of scavenging, making researchers consider the possibility that the
burial may not have been intentional.
The third
skeletal fossil, however, contains a clear indication of having been
scavenged by large predators around the time of death, including
“ancient pitting, tooth scores, and fractures."
Stone Tools,
Animal Fossils Also Discovered at The Site
Also discovered
at the site were thousands of stone tools, pieces of charcoal, and
the fossilized bones of large rodents, monkeys, hoofed-animals,
carnivores, and bovids (members of the cattle family).
However, “no
butchery-related, or unambiguously humanly induced bone modifications
were found," the study noted. "Only the expected rodent
gnawing, insect, and carnivore damage that are normal in such
depositional settings."
“We predict
that the continued integration of ongoing actualistic investigations
of the modern Middle Awash geology and biology will continue to
contextualize the geological, paleobiological, and archaeological
traces at Halibee,” the researchers concluded.
In the same
way, findings from “the Middle Pleistocene evidence lying directly
below the Halibee member will contribute to understanding how
behaviors, anatomies, and environments of the Middle Awash
inhabitants changed across deep time.”
