The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) released its annual audit of antisemitic incidents for Nevada on Tuesday.
Officials said Nevada topped 20 antisemitic incidents for the second consecutive year, though its 22 reported incidents in 2020 were down from 25 in 2019.
Harassment claims increased 120 percent year over year and vandalism hit Nevada's metro areas particularly hard, according to the report from ADL.
Harassment incidents included "Zoombombing" at Las Vegas-area educational institutions and acts perpetrated by known neo-Nazi groups, including Folks Front and the National Socialist Club. "Zoombombing" is the intentional disruption of live videoconferences. In 2020, ADL says there were 196 incidents of antisemitic videoconferencing attacks and of those incidents, 114 were targeted at Jewish institutions such as schools and synagogues.
Antisemitic graffiti attacks were reported in both Las Vegas and Reno, with the majority incorporating swastika imagery.
