“Caught on Camera: Catholic Nun Attacked in Jerusalem, Violence Against Christians Raises Alarm”
May 5, 2026
A horrifying video from Jerusalem has captured the moment a French Catholic nun was brutally attacked in broad daylight near Mount Zion. The footage shows a 36-year-old extremist stealthily approaching the nun from behind and shoving her to the ground with such force that her head struck a stone tile.
The violence didn’t stop there. After briefly walking away, the perpetrator returned to kick and step on the frail nun while she was already injured.
It is a chilling reminder that religious freedom in the Holy Land is under direct assault by extremists who feel protected by a system that refuses to hold them accountable.
SHAME!! SHARE THEIR CRIMES EVERYDAY!

Clarissa Ward: So this video is hard to watch. On Tuesday, a French nun was walking through Jerusalem near the cynical the site of the Last Supper, when a man violently shoved her to the ground. And I want you to watch what happens next. The man walks away, then turns back and kicks her before people nearby step in to intervene. Israeli police say a 36 year old man has been arrested and is being held in connection with what they’re calling a “racist motivated assault”. They also later released photographs showing bruising on the nun’s face and put out a statement saying, “The Israel Police treats any attack on members of the clergy and religious communities with the utmost seriousness and applies a policy of zero tolerance to all acts of violence”. But let’s be clear this type of violent incident is not isolated. Just weeks ago, an Israeli soldier was photographed smashing a statue of Jesus in South Lebanon. Now that soldier was removed from duty and sentenced to 30 days of military detention, and Israel appointed a new special envoy to the Christian world in the face of the backlash. But the numbers are troubling. A Jerusalem based group tracking religious freedom says there were 181 reported cases of harassment targeting Christians in 2025, and 44 more in just the first three months of this year.
