Israeli illegal paramilitary colonizers attacked the Church of the Visitation on Thursday in the depopulated Palestinian village of Ein Karem in occupied Jerusalem, vandalizing the site and defacing nearby property.
The Jerusalem Governorate reported that a group of colonizers invaded the church grounds, wrote racist slogans on its exterior walls, and sprayed similar graffiti on vehicles parked near the site.
