Four buses in were torched and a fifth one vandalized in an apparent anti-Israel attack in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, The Times of Israel reported Friday.

Investigator Jens Moeller Jensen said police suspect arson and are investigating possible links to a decision last week by city transit officials to remove bus ads by a pro-Palestinian group calling for a boycott of Israeli goods.

“In paint was written ‘Boycott Israel – Free Gaza’ on at least one of the buses,” police spokesman Las Vestervig told local newspaper BT. …

Earlier this week, local bus company Movia decided to pull ads from 35 buses in Copenhagen which called for boycotting Israeli settlement goods which read: “Our conscience is clean! We neither buy products from the Israeli settlements nor invest in the settlement industry.”

The group that sponsored the ads, Danish Palestinian Friendship Association, denied any involvement in the arson but pledged to expand its anti-Israel ad campaign.

In January, a guard outside a Copenhagen synagogue was shot and killed by a Palestinian-Danish terrorist. Danish Jews had asked for increased protection in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Cacher terrorist attacks in Paris.
