Additionally, the statement claims that the vandalism comes after she received dozens of calls from protesters demanding that she not attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress on Wednesday

Her office was allegedly targeted by protesters in January as well, the statement said. 

"Violence of any kind has no place in our society, and no amount of it will stop me from doing what I believe is right for Southern California families," Rep. Steel said in the statement. 

Cypress Police Department officers are now investigating the matter.

No one was injured in the incident.
