The Jewish community in the Czech Republic says there was an increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the country last year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a report Wednesday, the Federation of the Jewish Communities said there were 347 anti-Semitic attacks in 2018, up by 221 from 2015 when the last equivalent report was published.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most of the attacks \u2014 93% \u2014 appeared on the internet, often on far-right, anti-liberal and pro-Russian media.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The group said there were two physical attacks and three attacks on Jewish property last year. The remainder involved anti-Semitic threats, harassment and verbal abuse.<\/p>\n

The report still says the Czech Republic remains a safe country for Jews and anti-Semitism is at a relatively low level compared with other European countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
