Suspected Jerusalem synagogue vandal arrested

A 38-year-old Jerusalem resident is arrested on suspicion of vandalizing a Nahlaot synagogue earlier today, police say in a statement.

According to police, the suspect was also behind a similar vandalism incident in northern Jerusalem earlier this month.

Police were called to the Lelov synagogue this morning after worshipers found swastikas daubed inside the building, and three holy books burned.
