'Death to Jews,' Swastikas sprayed around Jaffa neighborhood
Swastikas and inscriptions reading "Death to
Jews" were spray pained Tuesday night around Jaffa.
Police are trying to track down the perpetrators, but
have no suspects at this time.
The graffiti was sprayed in mixed Jewish-Arab
neighborhoods.
Tensions between Jews and Arabs in Jaffa have been
simmering for a few years against the backdrop of increased Jewish presence,
which the Arab residents view as an attempt to push them out of the city.
The situation has worsened since 2008, following the
establishment of a hesder yeshiva at the heart of the Ajami neighborhood.
