German Police are offering €5,000 to anyone who can provide information on an arson attack last Friday, in which a perpetrator threw an incendiary device at a synagogue in the north German city of Oldenburg, according to Deutsche Welle.

The device caused minor damage before it was put out by caretakers of a local cultural center.

This Sunday, about 400 people participated in a march against antisemitism according to Oldenburg, as antisemitism increases in Germany and other countries in the wake of October 7.
