Jewish community leaders in Greece on Tuesday slammed the "profane" daubing of anti-Semitic slogans at a recently-restored synagogue, the latest in a series of similar incidents.
Graffiti reading "Jewish snakes out" was found scrawled on the stone fence of a recently-restored synagogue in the central Greek town of Trikala, some 300 kilometers (190 miles) north of Athens.

The Trikala synagogue is one of the oldest in the country.
"The shameful and insulting slogans, which profane the recently restored historic synagogue of Trikala, provoke indignation and deep sadness," the Central Jewish Council of Greece (KIS) said in a statement.
KIS added the incident showed "the fight against anti-Semitism must continue" while calling on Greek authorities to take "all measures to arrest those behind this desecration and protect Jewish sites in Trikala."
There has been a spate of similar incidents in Greece, where the Jewish community today numbers just a few thousand.
