A teen named Ro'i Ma'ayan from Rehovot posted a TikTok video showing himself and a masked youth removing Pride flags that had been hung for the city's Pride parade, according to the source of journalist Daniel Amram. Police had already opened an investigation into similar flag vandalism in recent days.
The source affiliated with journalist Daniel Amram reported Saturday night that a resident of Rehovot named Ro'i Ma'ayan posted a TikTok video in which he and a masked accomplice are seen tearing down rainbow Pride flags that had been hung along city streets ahead of the local Pride parade. The post notes that police in Rehovot opened an investigation several days ago after a previous round of flag vandalism, and the new video appears to show the same suspects bragging about their actions. As The Zioneer reported on June 9, Pride flags were vandalized in the Megiddo Regional Council earlier this month, prompting a police complaint by the council head; that incident is a separate case. A formal police statement on the Rehovot investigation has not yet been released. The identities of the youth and whether charges will be filed remain unclear.
