"Congressman's Home Vandalized in Call for Gaza Cease-Fire"

Congressman Adam Smith's home in Bellevue, Washington, was vandalized with a pro-cease-fire message spray-painted on the garage door by individuals advocating for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. The Bellevue police are collaborating with the U.S. Capitol Police to investigate the incident. Smith, who has spoken about the conflict between Israel and Hamas, urged people to reject the rise in political violence and extremism. Lawmakers and politicians have faced criticism over U.S. support for Israel and the civilian casualties in the conflict.
