Attackers spray-painted anti-Christian graffiti in Hebrew on the walls of a church near the Old City of Al-Quds, AFP reported Tuesday.

Photos on the church’s website showed blue graffiti scrawled on the monastery's front door denigrating Jesus Christ, and adding the words "price tag" – a euphemism for revenge hate crimes by Israeli extremists.

According to the news agency, the Israeli police confirmed the incident, as Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that “what took place is that a church on Mount Zion was targeted. On it was written graffiti against Christianity, and 'price tag,' and now we're investigating the incident."

“It happened during the early hours of the morning," he added.
