Vandals sprayed swastikas on a Brooklyn yeshiva last night, the night of the New York City mayoral election.

Photos from the scene show two red swastikas scrawled on a wall and a window of the Magen David Yeshiva.

Before the election, the school required parents to prove they were registered to vote, amid Jewish community concern over Zohran Mamdani.

Jews are targeted in hate crimes far more than any other group in New York City.
