In the United States, five people were injured in a stabbing attack during Hanukkah celebrations near a Synagogue at Monsey in the north of New York City with large population of Orthodox Jews.
According to local media, the attacker armed with a machete broke into the house of Hasidic Rabbi Rottenberg Shul and began stabbing people as they rushed into a nearby synagogue, barricading the doors from inside and prompting the perpetrator to flee.
The Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council for the Hudson Valley region reported five victims.
