An anti-Semitic vandal scrawled “Slaughter the Jews” on a section of the sacred Western Wall in Jerusalem over the weekend, according to local reports.
The chilling phrase was spray-painted in Arabic on the Kotel HaKatan, or “Little Western Wall,” on Saturday in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
A young female was arrested Saturday night in connection with the incident, according to the agency. Her name and exact age were not publicly released, but she was referred to as a “girl” in the report.
An image tweeted by the outlet Israel First TV shows the section of wall after authorities covered it over in red paint.
The Little Western Wall is located in a narrow alley about 200 yards south of the Western Wall Plaza and is considered a particularly holy location for the Jewish people.
