JERUSALEM– Extremist Israelis Friday dawn torched eight Palestinian vehicles in Abu Gosh and Ein Naqquba villages, west of Jerusalem, according to local sources.
They said that a group of extremist Israelis set ablaze four vehicles in Abu Ghosh village and four others in Ein Naqquba village, causing serious damage.
There were no casualties.
The arsonists spray-painted in Hebrew hate graffiti calling for the forced expulsion of the Palestinians.
“Price tag” refers to an underground anti-Palestinian Israeli group that routinely attacks Palestinians in the occupied territories and inside Israel.
The Israeli government still refuses to label it as a terrorist organization and considers it only as group of vandals.
Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
Settler violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
There are over 700,000 Israeli settlers living in colonial settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.
