Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Reports of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States surged to a record high amid Israel's war against Iran-backed Hamas, according to a leading U.S.-based Jewish organization dedicated to combating antisemitism.

The Anti-Defamation League said in a report released Sunday that it received more than 10,000 reports of U.S.-based anti-Semitic incidents between Oct. 7, 2023 -- the start of Israel's war against Hamas -- and Sept. 24.
