A group of  unidentified individuals hurled cocktail molotov bombs at the Holy Synod of the Petrakis Monastery in Athens, at approximately 3am on Monday morning. The attacks resulted in two parked cars being damaged. The incident is the latest in a barrage of attacks against Churches across the country from self-styled anti-establishment groups, after the arrest of solidarity group members last week for charging into a Church into Thessaloniki. The Greek government’s spokesperson, Olga Gerovasili issued a statement condemning the attack. ‘Monday’s morning attack against the Holy Synod’s offices are abhorrent. The authorities have taken the necessary steps to detect the suspects’, she said.
