01 · THE DISPATCH

A person has defaced Israeli sovereignty symbols in the Negev community of Rethmim, according to a local report circulated Wednesday evening. The specific nature of the damage has not yet been detailed.

This event follows two recent incidents in the same area that The Zioneer reported earlier this month. On Wednesday morning, a large Israeli flag was torn from an outpost memorial for soldiers killed on October 7 in the Rethmim area. The previous week, Pride flags were vandalized in the Megiddo Regional Council.

The pattern of attacks on national and civic symbols in the Negev this week prompted local authorities to file police complaints. The full extent of the latest damage in Rethmim and any potential suspects remain unconfirmed.
