Anti-Jewish, anti-Arab vandalism on the rise
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn growing signs of Arab-Jewish tensions fueled by the Gaza war, police report that it is investigating anti-Arab and anti-Jewish graffiti in the northern cities of Acre and Haifa.
Two anti-Jewish graffiti drawings are found in Al-Jazar square in Acre, and an anti-Arab drawing on a wall in the Neve David neighborhood of Haifa.
The graffiti is now scrubbed clean and investigations are opened in both cases, police say.
Police also suspect that a wave of seven separate fires in Jewish farms in the Jezreel Valley may be linked to local Arabs taking revenge for the Gaza war.
The fires, which have destroyed the contents of at least four grain silos, have caused millions of shekels in damage.
