Security footage shows woman blowing out Hanukkah candles at Tel Aviv mall

A woman is caught on security camera footage blowing out Hanukkah candles at the Weizmann Mall in Tel Aviv, in footage dated overnight Thursday-Friday.

Police are expected to probe the incident as a violation of the law against insulting religion, which carries a maximum penalty of three years imprisonment, Channel 12 news reports.

The law forbids “destruction, damage, or desecration of a place of worship or any object held sacred to a group of people, with the intent to insult their religion, or with the knowledge that they may view this act as an insult to their religion.”
