Details
On June 4, 2024, an unknown individual spray-painted pro-Palestinian graffiti on the side of a United States Department of Defense contractor building located on Science Park Road in State College, Pennsylvania. The graffiti stated “FOR THE MARTYRS,” “ESCALATE 4 RAFAH,” and “FREE PALESTINE.” The suspect then tried to enter the secure facility, but fled on foot after being confronted by security. In the early morning hours of June 9, 2024, the same individual returned to the location and spray-painted the building with “INTIFADA IS HERE” as well as an inverted red triangle indicating the “rising” is here. The individual also doused the area in a flammable liquid. The area included a compressed natural gas pipeline, a natural gas generator, and a nearby transformer, all of which are in close proximity to the building. The suspect set fire to the liquid and fled on foot in the same direction as the previous incident. The suspect is described as being White, between 5’9” and 6’0" tall, with longer blond or light brown hair, and with a shoe size between men's 10 and 11 or women's 12 and 13.
