'Squad' Member Summer Lee Touted Support From 'Pittsburgh Jewish Community' Member Now Indicted...

Federal prosecutors announced charges on Wednesday against Lubit, a Pittsburgh native, and Mohamad Hamad, a U.S. and Lebanese citizen, for vandalizing Chabad of Squirrel Hill and the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh on July 29.

Lubit and Hamad allegedly painted "Jews 4 Palestine" and an inverted triangle, a symbol affiliated with Hamas, on the Chabad of Squirrel Hill. They painted "Hate Zionists" on a sign outside the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. They are charged with damaging religious property and conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, charges that carry a penalty of up to two years in prison.

The indictment could bring renewed scrutiny to Lee, whose district encompasses both of the targeted groups—and who has ties to one of the apparent vandals, Lubit.
