Suspicion had fallen on extreme ultra-Orthodox opponents of the state of
Israel.
Several ultra-Orthodox groups do not believe a Jewish state should exist
without the appearance of the Messiah, of which the best-known is Neturei
Karta. Rosenfeld said all three suspects were members of that group.
Similar slogans were sprayed in April at Ammunition Hill, a former Jordanian
military post that now houses preserved trenches, battle fortifications and
a museum, and at a memorial for Israeli fallen soldiers and policemen in the
West Bank’s Jordan Valley.
Mr Rosenfeld said the three suspects would be brought to the Jerusalem
magistrate’s court for a remand hearing later on Tuesday.
