At around 6 am the City Hall dispatch received a call saying hate slogans were spray-painted near the Rabin memorial. Tel Aviv police launched an investigation and the security camera footage was analyzed.

City employees suspected a former colleague, who later admitted to the act, which he said was committed to avenge the June 1948 attack on the ship Altalena. He said his brother was aboard the ship when it was attacked by IDF forces commanded by Rabin.
