A priest on Monday 28 Nissan filed an official complaint with Tiveria police after vandals attacked his church in Furdis. A crucifix was vandalized along with benches in the courtyard. Graffiti was also found, stating “Churches are closed, not a beis medrash”. Police report the tires of 20 vehicles were punctured as well. Area surveillance photos show three males wearing caps in the area.
Tiveria police officials released a statement that the investigation will be a priority as they will not tolerate such attacks against any house of worship in the Tiveria district.

The English translation of the word “Misgadim” is mosques, not churches.
Rabbi Yoni,
Good catch!
These stupid vandals don’t even know the difference between a church and a mosque.
This is no doubt the work of Arabs. How many Jews can enter Arab towns like Furdis and not get lynched?
