Officers from the Lev HaBira Station in the Jerusalem district, along with the Yasam and Border Police fighters, operated Wednesday morning to locate and remove malicious graffiti and expressions of support for the terrorist activities of Hamas in the southern part of the country in the neighborhood of Me'ah She'arim in Jerusalem. They also took down Palestinian flags.
During the police activity, there was a disturbance that included throwing various objects such as eggs, water, bottles, and throwing stones at the police, as well as derogatory shouts towards the officers, including "Nazi terrorists." The police and Border Police forces on the scene worked to disperse the agitated crowd that shouted malicious insults at the officers.
At the end of the police sweeps, the officers removed the Palestinian flags and erased the malicious graffiti that included the phrase: "1400 Zionist terrorists were neutralized," "Zionists"="Nazis," among others.
The Israel Police announced, "The police will continue to act firmly against anyone who disrupts the order during times of war, acts against the State of Israel, or harms police officers or civilians."
