Two shuls in Ramat Beit Shemesh Beit were targeted by vandals. Sifrei Torah were thrown to the ground R”L. The covers for the sifrei Torah and other items were desecrated.
When vosikin mispallalim from Beis Aaron arrived at shul on Rabi Tarfon Street in RBS Beit they were horrified at the sight. The shuk was open, Sifrei Torah were thrown on the ground and Sifrei Kodesh and Judaica were thrown about. After they began probing the attack it was learned that another nearby shul was targeted too, Beis Knesses Leah Imeinu. The Sifrei Torah from that shul were thrown in the nearby brush R”L.
It is unknown who is responsible at this time but it is noteworthy that at the time of this report, no senior government officials have issued condemnatory statements as they do for graffiti attacks against mosques or churches.

while this story is BEYOND horrible, you made it even worse with the Lashon Hara regarding the condemnation comment, which you have no clue if its true or not…..
