Palestinian home in West Bank burned, vandalized in apparent settler attack |
Israeli settler extremists reportedly carried out an arson attack in a Palestinian village north of Ramallah on Wednesday, setting fire to a home and leaving threatening graffiti messages.
According to the Ramallah municipality, the attack took place in al-Mazraa al-Sharqiya, a village some 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Ramallah.
No injuries were reported in the incident, and neither the Israeli military nor police issued comments about the attack.
Footage published by the Ramallah municipality showed a charred garage, with an adjacent stairwell also badly burned.
A Hebrew message written in black graffiti on an outer wall read “price tag,” “revenge,” and “regards from the ‘peripheral youth.'”
Settler extremists often refer to violence against Palestinians as a “price tag” for Palestinian attacks and the dismantling of settler outposts by Israeli forces.
