A group of ultra-Orthodox Israelis were captured on camera spitting at the entrance of the Saint James Monastery in occupied East Jerusalem, a historic Christian site located in the Old City.
The incident is the latest in a series of documented acts of harassment targeting Christian clergy, churches and pilgrims in Jerusalem.
Such attacks are rooted in extremist religious beliefs held by some ultra-Orthodox and nationalist Jewish groups, who view Christianity as idolatrous and consider spitting a symbolic act of rejection.
The practice has been openly defended by some extremists as a religious expression.
Christian leaders and human rights groups have repeatedly warned that Israeli authorities fail to act against perpetrators, allowing harassment of Christians, vandalism of churches and verbal abuse of tourists to continue unchecked.
