(JTA) — Swastikas and other hate symbols were carved into cars in a Denver neighborhood.

Denver police are investigating the incident. They have not yet decided to label it a hate crime, ABC7 reported.
“We haven’t received any explicit threats against us and we are grateful for that,” Hillel Executive Director Daniel Bennett told the TV station.
