"Hate Crime: Vandalism of Israeli Hostage Tributes in Massachusetts Community"

Dozens of posters outside a Massachusetts home featuring hostages taken by Hamas were vandalized, with some ripped down and spray-painted over. The tribute, set up by Newton residents Jeff and Miriam Kosowsky, was meant to raise awareness and support for the hostages. Newton police are investigating the incident as a hate crime, and the FBI has been contacted. The United States is supporting talks aimed at securing a cease-fire in Gaza and the return of Israeli hostages taken in Hamas' attack.
