2 arrested over vandalism of Israeli flags, pro-Palestinian messages left at school

Police say they have arrested two women aged 19 and 21, from the Bedouin town of Hura, for vandalizing Israel flags and leaving pro-Palestinian messages at a school in the town of Meitar.

Channel 13 reported yesterday that students and staff last month arrived one morning to find the flags torn and the whiteboard bearing a drawing of a Palestinian flag alongside writings about “liberating Gaza” and “freeing Palestine.”

The two suspects have been arrested today, police say.

Channel 13 reports that they have been employed as cleaners at the school, adding that a few days ago, a student at the school found a drawing of a Palestinian flag in his textbook.
