Police on Sunday have opened an investigation regarding the circumstances surrounding the discovery of an Islamic State (ISIS) style flag, that was found in a penthouse apartment on Recanati street in the northern section of Tel Aviv.
Another flag related to Islam was found at the site. The flags were hand made with white markings on a black cloth resembling the ISIS flag, and were hung on the outdoor balcony of a penthouse apartment.
The neighbors reported the flags to the police and filed a complaint. The maintenance manager of the building found the flag when he went up on the roof of the building. A source within the police stated that those involved in hanging the flag are being investigated.
According to a report in Yedioth Aharonoth, the maintenance manager said that the building is undergoing some remodeling and there is scaffolding in place which could allow people from the outside to gain access to the penthouse porch. The owners of the penthouse apartment are currently abroad.
Tel Aviv is still under a significant amount of tension as Nashat Melhem, the perpetrator of a double murder terror attack last week on Friday, is still on the loose.
Many parents, specifically from northern Tel Aviv neighborhoods, did not allow their children to go to school this morning out of fear of the terrorist still at large.
