Israel's Ministry of Health said that 21 people have been diagnosed with West Nile virus, of which 17 have been hospitalized with neurological symptoms. Of the confirmed patients, two patients died over the weekend in Petach Tikva's Beilinson Hospital. Three patients are on ventilators.

Since 2011, most of the patients diagnosed with the West Nile virus were over 65 years old. the next most affected age group was between the ages of 45-64. As a general rule, about 80 percent of those infected do not develop symptoms. About 20 percent of those infected will have symptoms of varying severity, including fever, general malaise, headaches, or generalized body aches. Neurological complications will appear in less than 1 percent of those infected.

In the meantime, the Ministry of Health refined instructions for the medical teams and instructed them to emphasize the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. In order to reduce exposure to mosquitoes, the Ministry of Health recommends using mosquito repellents and appropriate accessories to keep mosquitoes away in the living rooms, as well as turning on fans in the resting place.

West Nile virus has affected Israel for years and occurs mainly between the months of June and November. This year, the morbidity began earlier than usual, likely due to climate changes in Israel and around world. Humidity in the central part of the country may lead to increased reproduction of mosquitoes in this area. The risk of morbidity is highest among adults and people with immunosuppression issues.

In cases of West Nile virus, the Ministry of Health conducts an epidemiological investigation that is forwarded to the Environmental Protection Ministry for local pest control operations by the authorities. In addition, the Health and Environmental Protection Ministries inform the public about areas where mosquitoes infected with the virus are caught.

Jewish community in Dagestan: history and recent challenges - explainer

This community has preserved its distinct cultural and religious practices despite geographical and political isolation.

The Jewish community in Dagestan, primarily consisting of Mountain Jews, has a rich history and faces unique challenges in recent years. The Mountain Jews, also known as Tats, trace their origins back to Persian-speaking regions and have lived in the Caucasus since at least the 8th century.

This community has preserved its distinct cultural and religious practices despite geographical and political isolation. Historically, Mountain Jews settled in various parts of Dagestan, with significant populations in cities like Derbent and Makhachkala

Derbent, one of the oldest cities in the region, has been a central hub for Jewish life, boasting multiple synagogues before the Bolshevik Revolution. Today, only the Kele-Numaz Synagogue remains active in Derbent, serving as a focal point for the dwindling Jewish population, according to reports.

Dagestan, a republic in Russia's North Caucasus, borders the Caspian Sea to the east and Georgia and Azerbaijan to the south. Its capital is Makhachkala. Known for its ethnic diversity, with over 30 ethnic groups and 100 languages, Dagestan predominantly practices Sunni Islam. The region has a complex history of resistance against empires and faces challenges like political instability and economic development, despite its resources in agriculture, oil, and industry.

During the Soviet era, Mountain Jews managed to maintain their religious practices discreetly, such as baking matzo for Passover and lighting Sabbath candles, far from the anti-Semitic policies prevalent in other parts of the Soviet Union. This cultural resilience continued despite the harsh conditions imposed by the Soviet regime, as noted by various sources.

In recent decades, the Jewish population in Dagestan has faced significant challenges. The collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequent regional conflicts, particularly the Chechen wars, have led to increased violence and instability. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism has further complicated the situation, causing many Jews to emigrate. For instance, the Jewish population in Dagestan has plummeted from around 50,000 to fewer than 10,000 in recent years, with many relocating to Israel, the United States, or other parts of Russia, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Increased ethnic tensions

Despite their drastically diminished numbers, the Mountain Jews in Dagestan and elsewhere in the North Caucasus have maintained their communities. However, recent years have seen an increase in interethnic tension and acts of violence, prompting many to consider emigration for safety. Roman Ashurov, a prominent community member, highlighted the dangers faced, including kidnappings by Chechen gangs who targeted Jews for ransom, as reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

In recent years, the Jewish community in Dagestan has faced significant threats, including a notable terrorist incident on October 29, 2023, when a mob stormed Makhachkala Airport in search of Jewish passengers arriving from Israel. This attack was incited by ongoing global antisemitic agitation linked to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The mob, shouting antisemitic slogans, managed to breach airport security and caused significant chaos, leading to the airport's temporary closure and heightened security measures by local authorities, according to Jerusalem Post articles.

This incident wasn't isolated. Just earlier that day, a Jewish center under construction in Dagestan was set ablaze, with the words "Death to the Jews" inscribed on its walls. These events underscored a worrying rise in antisemitic violence in the region, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and extremist 
propaganda.

Local and international Jewish leaders have expressed deep concern about the safety of Jews in Dagestan. Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, the president of the Conference of European Rabbis, emphasized the need for Russian authorities to take decisive action against such extremism. Similarly, the Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus condemned the riots, highlighting the importance of maintaining interfaith harmony. This perspective was shared by both the Post and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Despite these challenges, the Jewish community in Dagestan, particularly in cities like Derbent and Makhachkala, continues to strive for peace and coexistence. However, the recent violent incidents have prompted many to consider emigration for safety, adding to the long-standing trend of Jewish emigration from the region due to economic hardships and security concerns.

Posters in Tel Aviv calling for the return of Israeli hostages in Gaza

On 7 October 2023, as part of the Hamas-led attack on Israel at the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war, Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups abducted 253 people from Israel to the Gaza Strip,[1][2][3][4][5][6] including children,[7][8][9][10][11] women, and elderly people.[12] In addition to hostages with only Israeli citizenship, almost half of the hostages are foreign nationals or have multiple citizenships.[13] The precise ratio of soldiers and civilians among the captives is unknown. The captives are likely being held in different locations in the Gaza Strip.[14]

As of February 14, 2024, 112 hostages were returned alive to Israel, with 105 being released in a prisoner exchange deal, 4 were released by Hamas unilaterally and 3 hostages were rescued by the IDF.[15][16][17][18][19][20] 11 bodies of hostages were repatriated to Israel, with 3 of the hostages killed by friendly fire from the IDF[21] and the bodies of 8 hostages repatriated through military operations.[22][23] 33 hostages were reportedly killed in Hamas captivity according to Israel.[24][25][26][27][28] According to unconfirmed Israeli intelligence, at least 20 additional hostages may be deceased, with their bodies being held captive in Gaza.[29] As of February 14, 2024, 134 hostages remain in captivity in the Gaza Strip, with 130 hostages abducted on October 7, 2023, and four hostages having been captured earlier.[25]

Hamas has offered to release all hostages in exchange for Israel releasing all Palestinian prisoners.[30] By October 2023, Israel held 5,200 Palestinians (including 170 juveniles) in its prisons. Hamas stated its objective was to secure their release.[31] Several countries have been involved in negotiations between Israel and Hamas, with Qatar taking the lead.[32]

On 22 November 2023, Israel and Hamas agreed to the release of 150 Palestinian prisoners and a four-day cease-fire in exchange for Hamas's release of approximately 50 of the hostages. The exchange involved hostages from the categories of women and children.[33][34][35] As of 30 November 2023, the last day of the ceasefire, 105 civilian hostages had been released, which included 81 people from Israel, 23 Thais and one Filipino.[36] On 12 February 2024, two Argentinian-Israeli civilians were rescued in Operation Golden Hand. As of March 2024, according to Israeli information, Hamas holds 107 hostages alive and 25 bodies.[24]

 

Militants abducted the Bibas family from kibbutz Nir Oz during the Nir Oz massacre: 9-month-old Kfir, 4-year-old Ariel, 32-year-old mother Shiri, and her 34-year-old husband Yarden.[89][90] Shiri's parents, also abducted from their kibbutz, were later found deceased. Efforts to release Shiri and her children during the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas were unsuccessful, leading to claims by Hamas that they were killed in an Israeli airstrike. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) expressed doubts about these claims, amidst widespread concern and a campaign for their release.[91][92]

Tanskan juutalaisilta seurakunnilta on raporttia antisemitismin lisääntymisestä

 i24news 22.2. 2024

"We have seen the the biggest antisemitic wave in Denmark since 1943," the head of Denmark's Jewish community said on Thursday.

"After Oct. 7, we have seen antisemitism on steroids." Henri Goldstein said, speaking to the Associated Press.

"We have seen a violent escalation, not least fueled by the uncontrolled spread of hatred on social media," he added, while noting that "the vast majority" of incidents are not recorded.

Counting 121 incidents completed by the community's security organization, he said 20 of them were death threats. The last spike was during the 1980s.

In 1943, almost all of Denmark's 7,200-strong Jewish community were evacuated to neutral Sweden in a secret operation. Today, there are around 1,200 Jews living in the country.

The incidents following the October 7 massacre of Israelis in southern Israel prompted the community to recommend Danish Jews not wear outward signs of their Judaism.

The trend is echoed in other areas of Europe, with German universities coping with a similar spike.

Antisemitic incidents have also raised red flags in Australia and the US.

(Voin lisätä tähän, että  muutamat saamani paikalliset tiedot Tanskan matkoiltani ovat myös viitanneet  tähän suuntaan. toisaalta  varsinainen antisemitismi kohdistuu myös  muhamettilaisiin, mutta Tanskassa lienee  myös  siltä taholta mahdollisesti  juutalaisiin kohdistuvaa vaikutusta myös.  Tai voi sanoa- muhamettilaisten joukossa voi piillä  niitä, jotka  kylvävät vihaa  muuallakin maailmassa juutalaisia vastaan, vaikka itse ovat  myös samassa  tilanteessa  antisemiittien   taholta).
