VIDEO: Muslim woman tears up Israeli flag at Brussels memorial
Footage has emerged of a Muslim woman tearing up an Israeli flag at a memorial for the victims of the Brussels terror attack.
French television station RTL captured the incident in Brussels’ Place de la Bourse, where an Israeli flag had been placed at a vigil to more than 30 victims of Tuesday’s bombings.
The woman, pictured in a headscarf, appears to replace it with a larger Palestinian flag, before tearing up the Israeli flag, hiding the pieces under a banner.
Mourners have been placing flowers, candles and flags to show solidarity with the victims of the attack.
