The head of the local Jewish community, Shimi Dibiyaev, said that because of inadequate funding, local Jews have been unable to build a more secure fence around the cemeteries to prevent such incidents.
“I will do everything I can to ensure that these criminals are not just caught, but punished,” Mr. Dibiyaev said. “That last time [this happened] the vandals were caught, but for some reason, they were released afterwards.”
He sent a complaint to the local police and prosecutor’s office.
