Swastikas sprayed on MDA ambulance in Jerusalem

Several swastikas were spray-painted onto Magen David Adom vans last night in Jerusalem, according to spokespeople for the emergency service.

At around 3 a.m. this morning, a team of paramedics in Jerusalem were dispatched to the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim to treat a patient in his apartment.

When they returned to their vehicles outside, the medics were shocked to find that someone had painted swastikas over the Star of David logo on both vans.

An MDA spokesman said the organization filed a complaint with the police.

“This is a serious and shocking incident that has no place in our society,” says MDA CEO Eli Bin in a statement. “We trust that the enforcement agencies will bring those responsible for this heinous act to justice.”
