Disgusting thugs spray swastikas on graves of WW1 and WW2 soldiers at cemetery in Israel

YOBS daubed swastikas on graves of Commonwealth soldiers killed in the First and Second World Wars.

Sixty were sprayed with red paint — six with the Nazi symbol — at a cemetery in Haifa, Israel.

Peter Francis, of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, said of the outrage:”A lot of it seems to be an indescribable kind of tag, but there are also a number of swastikas spray painted on the graves.

“I felt sadness and anger and a resoluteness to restore the site as fast as we can.”

Mr Francis said it was not yet known if specific nationalities had been targeted, as the Commonwealth graves were not separated by country.

“It looks random to us,” Mr Francis added.

He said it follows a spate of attacks at Commonwealth war grave sites.

Several other Commonwealth graves were knocked over at Belfast City Cemetery in Northern Ireland this week.
