Police say they’ve arrested two Israeli women suspected of spray-painting the colors of the Palestinian flag on a protective concrete block at a bus stop in the West Bank.
The colors — green, red, black and white — were painted over a blue Star of David and what appears to be a map of Israel that includes the West Bank and Gaza.
The pair, both middle-aged women from Jerusalem, were arrested south of Jericho and are being interrogated at a police station in the West Bank, police say.
It is unclear whether they will be released or brought to court for a remand hearing after their questioning.
