Dec. 20 (UPI) -- The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was vandalized with the message "Free Gaza" amid Israel's ongoing war on occupied Palestine, reports said Wednesday.
The vandalism was reported to have likely occurred overnight Tuesday into Wednesday with crews called to clean the red paint at around 8:30 a.m., WDCW-TV reported. It happened hours after 60 protesters were arrested inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda calling for a cease-fire after entering as a tour group.
