על השלט שמפנה לאתר תל באר שבע הסמוך ליישוב בעל אותו שם רוססו גם קללות. המשטרה פתחה בחקירת נסיבות המקרה

יניר יגנה, 09.04.2013

צלב קרס וכתובות גנאי רוססו אתמול (שני), יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה, על שלט בכניסה לגן הלאומי תל באר שבע, סמוך ליישוב תל שבע שבמרכז הנגב. לאחר שהתגלו הכתובות פתחה המשטרה בחקירה.
הבוקר הגיעה מנהלת האתר, אושרה גבאי, למקום וגילתה כי על שלט המפנה לאתר רוסס צלב קרס וכן מילות גנאי כמו "זונות". לדבריה, "בסביבות השעה שמונה הגעתי לאתר ובכניסה לשביל הגישה אל האתר – על גבי שלט מע"צ - רוססו צלבי קרס בספריי לבן ועוד מספר קללות. המקום הוא אתר מורשת עולמית, בכל יום מגיעים לאתר תיירים ותלמידים. זה מעשה נפשע וזה מאוד מכעיס בצורה בלתי רגילה, מיד הגשנו תלונה במשטרה".
גבאי הוסיפה כי "צריך לתפוס את הפושעים שעשו את הדבר הזה, ולמצות עמם את הדין במהירות כדי שדברים כאלה לא יחזרו. אסור שדברים כאלו יקרו בשום מקום ובפרט במדינת ישראל". מהמשטרה נמסר כי התקבלה תלונה על המקרה וכי נפתחה חקירת האירוע.

On Holocaust Day: a swastika is sprayed on a sign in a national park in the Negev

Curses were also sprayed on the sign pointing to the Tel Beer Sheva site next to the settlement of the same name. The police started investigating the circumstances of the case

Yanir Yegane, 04.09.2013

A swastika and derogatory inscriptions were sprayed yesterday (Monday), Holocaust Remembrance Day, on a sign at the entrance to the Tel Be'er Sheva National Park, near the settlement of Tel Sheva in the central Negev. After the inscriptions were discovered, the police started an investigation.

This morning the manager of the site, Ushera Gabai, arrived at the scene and discovered that a swastika was sprayed on the sign pointing to the site as well as derogatory words such as "whores". According to her, "Around eight o'clock I arrived at the site and at the entrance to the access road to the site - on top of a sign of a police station - swastikas were sprayed with white spray and several other curses. The place is a world heritage site, every day tourists and students come to the site. This is a criminal act and it is very infuriating in an unusual way, we immediately filed a complaint with the police."

Gabbay added that "the criminals who did this should be caught, and they should be brought to justice quickly so that such things do not happen again. Such things must not happen anywhere, especially in the State of Israel." The police said that a complaint had been received about the incident and that an investigation into the incident had been opened.

Yaniv Kubovitch, Mar 20, 2013]

Three weeks ago, Nazi inscriptions were sprayed on the walls of buildings and shop windows on Gaza Street and Yerushalayim Boulevard in Jaffa. These are mainly "Death to the Jews" inscriptions, but in some places swastikas were even sprayed. The sprayers also added derogatory inscriptions directed directly against Jews living in the mixed city.

The police started an investigation of the incident with the aim of reaching the operations. Tel Aviv Municipality employees arrived at the scene and erased the inscriptions from the walls of the buildings and the windows of the shops.
