Anti-Semitic slogans and symbols were spray-painted on a number of houses and stores in Jaffa late Tuesday night. The police has opened an investigation into the incident.
Four houses on Gaza street and a number of stores on Sderot Yerushalyim were the target of the vandalism, with swastikas and the writing “death to the Jews” painted on the walls of the buildings.
Police said they were looking for security footage from nearby buildings in the hope of finding a lead. So far no suspects have been arrested.
Usually a calm tourist attraction, Jaffa is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Israel, with Jews, Muslims and Christians living side by side.
