Days after a Tucson synagogue welcomed members back inside for the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a vandal smashed the door, leading some in the area s Jewish community to worry they re being targeted due to rising tensions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The vandalism happened at Congregation Chaverim at some point between 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and 8 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Tucson Police Department.
The department said the synagogue s front door was damaged, leaving a rock-size hole not big enough for anyone to enter.
No suspects had been identified as of Wednesday afternoon.
Among the synagogue s members is state Rep. Alma Hernandez, D-Tucson, who posted about the incident on Twitter and said she was a complete mess in tears.
