Germany recorded a historic spike in antisemitic incidents last year, with 8,627 cases—the highest annual figure ever documented—marking an 80% increase over the 2023 total, a government watchdog reported Wednesday.

The figure comes from the 2024 report by the Federal Association of Research and Information on Antisemitism, or RIAS, which has tracked such incidents nationally since 2018 and in Berlin since 2015.

On average, the 2024 tally amounts to roughly 24 incidents per day—or one every hour—the nonprofit organization noted.
