New York police opened a hate crime investigation after a Capital One branch on Manhattan's Upper East Side had its windows smashed and was spray-painted with 'Drop Elbit' and 'Pal Action' graffiti, reported on October 19, 2026. Capital One has previously faced protests over its reported financing of Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems; 'Pal Action' references a UK activist group that has targeted Elbit facilities.
