A Pennsylvania man, Mohamad Hamad, and alleged accomplice Talya Lubit were arrested for vandalizing Jewish buildings in Pittsburgh with pro-Palestinian graffiti and discussing plans to target Jewish properties.

Hamad, who allegedly referred to himself as a “Hamas operative” and was a former member of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, was found with evidence linking him to both the vandalism and messages about building an explosive device.

Lubit, identified as a Jewish anti-Israel activist, expressed anti-Semitic sentiments in messages with Hamad, Breitbart News has reported.

Both have been charged with conspiracy and damaging religious property.
