Overview

  • Frankfurt police confirmed a paint attack around 17:00 in Grüneburgpark and said they will adjust their operational plan and increase their presence.
  • Sacha Stawski of Honestly Concerned said a masked woman doused him and two others with red paint as they posted images of Hamas-held hostages, and he filed a criminal complaint.
  • Stawski reported antisemitic insults during the confrontation, including being called child-killers and hearing chants of Free Palestine and Genocide.
  • The Jewish Community of Frankfurt issued a statement alleging hate against Israel at camp events and criticizing the municipal response as insufficient.
  • Camp organizers reported separate incidents involving kufiyas being torn off and a cut water pipe, and they said they enforce red lines that reject any legitimization of the October 7 Hamas attack, with the camp scheduled to run through Sunday before dismantling on Monday.
