Five Jewish headstones were knocked over in a Philadelphia cemetery this week, the second time Jewish graves have been vandalized in the city this year, police said.

No arrests have been made in either case, the Philadelphia Police Department said, adding that they consider this week’s incident to be a random act of vandalism, not anti-Semitism.
