In an incident reported by the Jerusalem Post, a man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of vandalizing and damaging St. Anthony's Church in Jaffa, Israel. Upon receiving a call on Sunday morning, police officers found that the church had been vandalized, with several statues smashed on the floor and crosses broken on chairs and the floor.
The suspect was located and arrested during the investigation. This follows a previous incident in early June where six suspects were arrested in Jerusalem's Old City, including five minors and one adult, for allegedly throwing rocks and spitting at the Armenian Cathedral of St. James. The suspects, according to Kegham Balian of the Jerusalem Post, also hurled rocks at an Armenian woman filming the event, shouting obscenities.
