The front of the BBC Northern Ireland building in Belfast has been daubed in paint in the colours of the Palestinian flag.
The incident happened at Broadcasting House on Ormeau Avenue at about 23:25 GMT on Friday.
There have been a number of pro-Palestinian protests outside the building since the war started.
Police said two suspects wearing black clothing with masks and hoods, painted graffiti onto the building.
The two people left the scene on foot a few minutes later, police said.
A BBC spokesperson said: “We regret any damage caused to BBC buildings or property.”
Several pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrations have been held in Belfast since violence erupted.
Hostages handed over
A total of 13 Israeli women and children and 11 foreign workers were released from Gaza on Friday.
They were the first hostages handed over as part of a deal brokered by Qatar.
The deal also includes a four-day truce and the release of 150 Palestinians from Israeli jails.
Hamas’s attacks on 7 October killed 1,200 people, with about 240 taken hostage.
Since then, Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says more than 14,500 people have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory campaign

WESTON, Vt. (AP) — Members of a beloved Vermont acting company were sleeping in theater housing when torrential rains and flooding forced them to flee, with water inundating the playhouse’s vast basement of dressing rooms, costumes and props and reaching into the first floor.
The July storms left the large, column-fronted white Greek Revival building with layers of mud and debris, and as volunteers and others dug out of the mess, the Weston Theater Company eventually kept performing — on higher ground. The shortened season came to end last week on a smaller stage on higher ground, and the actors are now figuring out how to make up for some of the losses and rebuild their leased playhouse to be more flood resistant in the tiny riverside town.
The prominent playhouse sits in the center of the 620-resident southern Vermont community of Weston along the West River. The oldest professional theater company in Vermont draws people from around the country, including part-time residents and visitors who want to see actors from the New York City area without traveling to the Big Apple.
When the theater flooded, some actors who were about to arrive for “Singin in the Rain” rehearsals were delayed for days. The basement also flooded during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. This time around the floodwaters were about 2.5 feet (0.7 meters) higher.
The damage is heartbreaking, especially after the struggle to recover from the pandemic shutting down performances in 2020, said Susanna Gellert, the company’s executive artistic director. The company performed under an outdoor tent in 2021 and didn’t start returning to pre-pandemic numbers until this year, she said.
“The real casualty of it is on our earnings,” she said.
Most of the water was pumped out of the the Playhouse but the damage was
