Date:

The 15-year-old who allegedly attacked an Orthodox Jew (50) with a knife in Zurich is now in custody. In a confession video, he expressed solidarity with the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) and called for a “global fight against the Jews.”

It is still being determined whether the Swiss of Tunisian descent is a lone perpetrator or has ties to a group. He now comments on his crime in Arabic in a confessional video. In it he calls for a “global struggle against the Jews” and expresses his solidarity with Islamic State (IS). The young person has been naturalized in Switzerland since 2011.

Security director: “Cowardly attack”
Cantonal security director Mario Fehr called it a “cowardly attack” and a “terrorist act.” in danger of dying. He had to undergo emergency surgery in hospital and his condition has since improved.

According to the Zurich “Tagesanzeiger”, the crime took place on Saturday evening shortly after 9:30 pm near the synagogue of the Israelite Community in the Enge district. When the man rang the doorbell for relatives on his way home, but did not show up at the apartment, they found the injured man at the entrance of the house. The police were able to arrest the suspect immediately at the crime scene.

Worst attack in more than twenty years
Witnesses reported that shortly before the crime he shouted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is the greatest”) and “Death to all Jews.” The attack is the most serious attack on a Jewish person in Switzerland in more than two decades. The then unsolved murder of Rabbi Abraham Grünbaum in Zurich in June 2001 caused shock among the population.
