Developments: 2. On September 16, Rabbi Tzemach Mizrachi, an Israeli citizen and Chabad leader in Milan, was subjected to a violent antisemitic attack at a bus stop in the Bande Nere area. The assault included physical violence, verbal abuse, and the forceful removal of his kippah. Following the incident, police arrested a 20-year-old Tunisian national, while two other individuals—a 19-year-old Tunisian and a 22-year-old Moroccan—faced charges and potential expulsion orders. In response to the attack, hundreds of people gathered in Milan’s Piazza San Carlo for a demonstration titled ‘Milano indossa la kippà’ (Milan wears the kippah) to protest antisemitism. During the protest, Walker Meghnagi, president of the Milan Jewish Community, highlighted the community’s need for security and called for legislative support against antisemitism. Chief Rabbi Alfonso Arbib also addressed the crowd, stating that such acts of violence are increasingly being treated with an ‘ideological alibi’ rather than being addressed as simple hooliganism. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Milan protesters wear kippahs in solidarity with assaulted rabbi Hundreds gathered in Milan for the ‘Milano indossa la kippà’ protest, showing solidarity with a rabbi assaulted in a racially motivated attack and calling for stronger antisemitism legislation. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/milan-protesters-wear-kippahs-in-solidarity-with-assaulted-rabbi ### 2026-09-16: Milan Rabbi assaulted in antisemitic attack at bus stop A Chabad rabbi was violently assaulted and insulted by three men in Milan's Bande Nere district.
