JERUSALEM (JTA) — A synagogue in central Israel was defaced with Arabic graffiti.
The vandalism was discovered June 22 on a synagogue in central Israel’s Moshav Maor.
The graffiti was from an Islamic prayer and read “There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.”
It came days after a West Bank mosque near Ramallah was torched and graffiti protesting the upcoming evacuation of several apartment buildings in the Ulpana neighborhood of the West Bank settlement of Beit El was painted on its walls in what is being considered a price tag attack.
