Two El Paso synagogues have been graffitied with Nazi symbols, local media reports say.
The B’nai Zion synagogue and Temple Mount Sinai were both spraypainted early Thursday with a symbol combining a swastika with a Star of David, photos on social media show.
The graffiti has since been cleaned.
Texas police are investigating the incident, and no one has been charged yet, local media reports.
El Paso, TX – A swastika intertwined with a Star of David was spray-painted on a synagogue. Are we back in 1930s Germany?
This blatant act of antisemitic intimidation must be investigated immediately, @ElPasoTXGov.
