Via Belfast Telegraph:
In a separate incident, the synagogue in north Belfast was threatened to be picketed if the Jewish community did not condemn Israel for recent air strikes in Gaza.
The threat disrupted the Shavuot service, a Jewish holiday. The service managed to go ahead with 10 congregants — the minimum number of people required for Jewish communal worship.
More congregants were expected to attend but had been discouraged by the threat, which was received via a phone call.
The PSNI are “monitoring the situation” and are “treating this as a hate incident at this stage”.
