Ataque contra Sinagoga no Cairo

Houve uma explosão de bomba artesanal na porta do que a nota do site messiânico chama  "mais proeminente sinagoga" do Cairo - conhecida como "A Grande Sinagoga do Cairo" - fechada nos dias normais mas que funcionaria nas festividades judaicas. É uma sinagoga com 102 anos e se chama Shaar Hashamayim.

Sinceramente, cerio que nos últimos 20 anos é a primeira vez que escuto falar uma sinagoga sobrevivente e ativa no Cairo e muito menos de judeus vivendo lá. Numa informação rápida da Wiki, sem certeza, haveria entre 20 a 40 judeus no Cairo.

O ataque foi no domingo dia 22.

Cairo synaoguge bombing does not alarm local Jews Israelis living in Cairo and the small local Jewish community told Israeli media that they were not alarmed by Sunday's bombing of a prominent synagogue in the Egyptian capital. In the attack, an Egyptian Arab man hurled a homemade bomb consisting of several gas canisters at the entrance of the synagogue. There were no injuries in the attack. Due to the miniscule number of Jews remaining in Egypt, the synagogue is no longer used as a daily place of worship, though it does host Jewish holiday events. Local Jews and resident Israelis said they did not view the attack as reason to take any additional precautions, noting that they have long known Egypt is not the most friendly place for a Jew to live. While Egypt is officially at peace with Israel, state-controlled media organs regularly incite hatred against the Jewish state and the Jews in general.
