Israel War Room is reporting that Mohamad Hamad and a co-defendant have been charged in connection with vandalizing Chabad of Squirrel Hill with red spray paint on or about July 29, 2024. According to the report, the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh was defaced with red spray paint the same day. The incidents come amid a wave of antisemitic vandalism targeting Jewish institutions across the country, which critics say has often drawn insufficient attention from local officials and media. Details on the specific charges filed against the defendants were not immediately available. BreakFirst will update this story as more information from prosecutors becomes public.
