Two swastikas and a Palestinian flag were spray-painted on a bus stop in the Negev Desert on Thursday. Investigators from the Rahat police station opened an investigation into the incident.

The vandalism took place near the Lehavim Junction, approximately 15 kilometers (9 miles) north of Beersheba.

There have been several similar incidents of anti-Semitic vandalism in Israel in recent months.

Four times between April and May, the Ha’Ohel synagogue in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv, had swastikas painted on its walls, and in March, the same happened on several houses and stores in the mixed Jewish-Arab city of Jaffa, adjacent to Tel Aviv.

On Holocaust Memorial Day in April, swastikas were painted on the sign for Tel Beersheba National Park.
