Members of the Jewish and Muslim communities have reported a surge in hate incidents since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict last Saturday. One example of this is a video circulating online in which a woman berates another person for flying a Palestinian flag on their car.

A victim of Islamophobia, Asmaa El Mouden said “I got even more concerned and scared for myself, my family members, my friends, for other people.”

The woman in the video apologized to the victim in an email statement to Global News, saying in part — "I said terrible things to you, words that I still can't believe left my mouth. I'm living with the shame of what I've done."

Community leaders are urging for calm as anger continues to rise amid tensions. Global’s Phil Carpenter reports.
