The youths allegedly spray-painted anti-Arab slogans and other graffiti on the walls of an Arab school disparaging Balad MK Hanin Zoabi, who made incendiary comments about the kidnapping of three Israeli teens last month.

Police are naming the 18-year-old suspect, Yaakov Yair Vaknin, but are withholding the name of the 15-year-old suspect because of his age.

The prosecution is seeking to keep them in custody.
