Video of attack on French nun in Jerusalem causes widespread condemnation
Israeli foreign ministry denounce ‘shameful act’ after footage shows man pushing woman to the ground and kicking her
A video of an attack on a French Catholic nun and archeological researcher in Jerusalem has caused widespread revulsion and has been denounced as a “shameful act” by Israel’s foreign ministry.
In the video, a man runs up behind the nun as she walks down a street and pushes her over with force, so that the victim comes close to hitting her head on a block of stone.
After walking away a few paces, the attacker, who appears to be Jewish, returns to kick the nun as she lay on the ground and only stops when a passerby intervenes.
