Footage has emerged on social media of a Muslim woman tearing up an Israeli flag at a memorial for the victims of the Brussels terror attack where mourners have placed flowers, candles and flags to show their sadness and solidarity.

French television station RTL captured the incident as it was filming live in Brussels’ Place de la Bourse Square, where an Israeli flag had been placed at a vigil to victims.

The woman, pictured in a headscarf, appears to lift an Israeli flag, ripped it up, and hid the remains under a nearby sign. She was not identified, but was seen wearing a hijab and a black-and-white keffiyeh and carrying a Palestinian flag.

The video images were spread across social media.
