In a written statement, Hazel said the incident “is being investigated thoroughly” by police and is addressed through its district code of conduct and New Jersey's Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act and HIB requirements. The superintendent said she could not discuss specifics of the case due to student confidentiality requirements.

"The Freehold Regional High School District and all of its high schools unequivocally and in the strongest possible sense condemn antisemitism and all forms of hate," Hazel said.

The posts come as President Donald Trump negotiates a historic peace agreement between Israel and Hamas during the Jewish holidays of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret.
