(JTA) — In an apparent anti-Semitic incident, a Jewish man found a swastika drawn on his Florida property.
David Cohen, a resident of North Fort Myers, Fla., told police that he found the swastika drawn onto his gate on Monday afternoon, according to news-press.com, a local news site.
Cohen, 72, had put up handmade Hanukkah decorations outside his home the day before and believes it was targeted as a result.

Cohen reported the incident to the sheriff’s office and painted over the symbol .
