Two people were arrested in Jerusalem for posting anti-Pope banners days before Pope Francis arrives in Israel, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The signs reportedly told Francis to leave Israel and ordered him to return relics taken by the Romans from Beit Hamikdash -- a holy Temple in the city.
During their arrest, authorities discovered dozens of other banners that had yet to be posted.
The names of the suspects have not been released.
Earlier this week, officials issued restraining orders against several Jewish right-wing activists over concern of possible attempts to distrupt the Pope's visit.
The Catholic Church also called on Jewish authorities to crack down on "price tag" attacks following graffiti markings on Catholic sites in Israel.
At the offices of the Assembly of Bishops at the Notre Dame center -- owned by the Vatican -- graffiti reading "Death to Arabs and Christians and those who hate Israel" appeared on Monday.
"Heads of the Churches in the Holy Land are preparing a series of actions aimed at informing local and international public opinion, and to make the authorities and law officials aware of their responsibilities," a statement read after the attack.
On Wednesday, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch labeled the "price tag" culprits as terrorists and called for more restraining orders be issued.
