Sarstedt (dpa / lni) - At a residential building in Sarstedt (Hildesheim district), a window pane with an Israel flag was thrown in.

The resident of the apartment on the first floor was at home on Thursday evening at the time of the crime, but not in the affected room, as the police announced on Friday morning.

A political motive could not be ruled out, it was said, which is why the state security is investigating.

However, the officers investigated in all directions.

The police asked possible witnesses to give clues to the incident.

The Middle East conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has escalated again in the past few days.

Militant Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been firing rockets at Israel since Monday evening.

Israel is responding by attacking targets in the Gaza Strip.
