Vandalism against Jewish institutions is not suprising in Jerusalem’s seamline neighborhoods where Jews lives near Arabs.  This attack is a bit of a shock, because Katamon is fairly central.  The use of crosses is either a ploy by Arab vandals or a troubling development within the broader Christian Israeli community.

Jerusalem police have opened an investigation into the incident and are searching for suspects.
