An elderly Jerusalem couple was found murdered in their apartment in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood on Sunday in what police suspect as a double homicide.

Tamar, 68, and Yehuda Kaduri, 71, were found by authorities when their daughter contacted police after not being able to reach her parents over the course of several days.

Police broke down the door, and discovered the Kaduris with stab wounds and other signs of violence.

Last week, a teenage girl called police after reporting that she was stabbed with a sharp object by a man at a bus stop in the area. The assailant escaped.

“Jews make up a small fraction of San Francisco’s population, yet anti-Jewish bias accounted for nearly half of all hate crimes reported so far this year,” Marc Levine, of the ADL, told JNS.
The nations agreed on a coordination mechanism for citizen services following Jerusalem’s prolonged humanitarian assistance deployment to the country.
The meeting “focused on strategies to strengthen Jewish safety and belonging, maintain candid lines of communication and collaborate on issues where we have shared values and goals,” Phylisa Wisdom, executive director of the Mayor’s office to Combat Antisemitism, told JNS.
The diplomatic move joins a host of bilateral measures to immediately strengthen relations between Jerusalem and Bogotá.
