Italy beefed up security around Jewish and Israeli targets Friday after an unknown assailant stabbed an Orthodox Jew seven times near a kosher pizzeria in Milan.

The victim, an Israeli citizen identified by Milan's Jewish community as 40-year-old Nathan Graff, was attacked from behind Thursday evening and suffered three wounds to the back, three around the face and one to the arm, said police spokeswoman Magica Palmisano.
