Summary The Jewish confederation called on the government to guarantee security at places of worship.
Leaders of Venezuela's Jewish community say a protest against Israel's airstrikes in the Gaza Strip was held outside the largest synagogue in Caracas.
The Venezuelan Confederation of Israelite Associations says demonstrators hurled fireworks inside the synagogue and disrupted activities.
The organization says in a statement that the unidentified 50 or so people at Thursday's protest shouted anti-Semitic slogans condemning Jews for the violence in the Middle East.
The protest came a day after Israel and the Hamas militant group agreed to a cease-fire to end eight days of rocket attacks and airstrikes.
The Jewish confederation called on the Venezuelan government to guarantee security at places of worship.
