The data showed 162 assaults, 505 intimidation incidents, and three murders, including the May 2025 killing of Israeli Embassy employees 2025 Capital Jewish Museum shooting and 2025 Capital Jewish Museum shooting outside the Lillian & Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. Overall hate crimes fell 7% to 10,606, and violent crime saw its largest annual decline since 1936. The Anti-Defamation League and American Jewish Committee expressed concern, noting that antisemitism remains persistent and deadly, with 20 Jews killed worldwide in 2025.
