Four school buses parked outside a Brooklyn yeshiva were found covered in swastikas and other antisemitic graffiti Monday morning, according to police.
The hateful symbol and phrases “F–k Jews,” “F–k Israel,” “Free Palestine” and “America First” were scrawled in black spray paint on the buses parked outside the United Talmudical Academy of Williamsburg, according to police and photos posted by Williamsburg News.
A person connected to the yeshiva, near Bedford Avenue and Williamsburg Street West, discovered the vandalism at about 9:50 a.m. and contacted 911, authorities said.
Several hours later, no arrests had been reported. The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is handling the investigation.
Police had not released a description of a possible suspect.

The vandalism came fewer than seven days after the same yeshiva was targeted by a bomb threat made over the phone on Oct. 9, officials said.
The call followed a similar threat made just minutes earlier to Yeshivah of Flatbush Joel Braverman High School.
Both schools were evacuated as a precaution while NYPD Emergency Service Unit officers and K9 teams conducted sweeps. No explosives were found, and the buildings were cleared as safe, police said.
The NYPD said last month that reported hate crimes had risen nearly 13% during the first nine months of the year compared with the same period in the previous year. More than half of those cases involved anti-Jewish incidents.
