An unidentified woman entered a synagogue in Kiryat Motzkin on Friday night, causing damage and spilling coffee on the premises, according to security camera footage obtained by "Kikar HaShabat." The incident occurred in a public shelter on Goshen Boulevard 1, which also serves as a synagogue. The shelter is kept open for residents as part of the mayor's initiative for a "quiet opening" of shelters to ensure the city is prepared for any security escalation.
The mayor stated that a minority of individuals are exploiting the city's security preparedness. He described the vandal entering the shelter around 8:10 PM on Friday, disrespecting its purpose as a life-saving space and a holy site by intentionally damaging prayer benches and furniture with coffee. The mayor vowed that the city would not overlook damage to public property, especially a sensitive site like an emergency shelter and synagogue. He urged anyone who recognizes the woman or has information to assist in her identification to contact the municipal hotline at *5470.
