The tziyun of Tanna Rav Chalfasa in northern Israel was targeted in a hate vandalism attack. The tziyun is located along Route 85 between Haninah and Kedarim Junctions. Graffiti including “Tag will pay the price” and swastikas were painted on the tziyun and surrounding area. Misgav district police have launched an investigation.

Authorities attribute this attack to the growing number of price tag attacks against primarily Muslim and Jewish venues, although Catholic house of worship have also been targeted.

The latest attack, reported on Wednesday morning 7 Iyar, signs at the entrance to Charish were painted with swastikas.
