Suspect who daubed ‘Gaza Holocaust’ on Kotel nabbed for doing it again at Church of Holy Sepulchre
The man suspected of spray-painting “There is a Holocaust in Gaza” on Jerusalem’s Western Wall earlier this month was arrested earlier tonight for allegedly daubing the same slogan on the nearby Church of the Holy Sepulchre, police say.
Officers caught the man with a can of spray-paint, and police say he will be brought before a judge later Tuesday for a remand hearing.
The suspect is a 27-year-old Haredi man who is said to be suffering from severe mental health issues.
