Extremist Israeli settlers vandalize Palestinian-owned vehicles, attack house near Hebron
Hebron (QNN)- Extremist Israeli members of the anti-Palestinian Price Tag terror group vandalized on Tuesday morning two Palestinian-owned vehicles and attacked a Palestinian house, east of the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron.
Ali Jaber, an owner of one of the two vehicles, reportedly said a group of armed Israeli fanatics from the illegal settlements of Kiryat Arba and Kharsina sneaked into the neighborhood of Wadi Al-Muzayen, east of Hebron, at dawn today.
They attacked his house and vandalized his car and his brother’s car, smashing the windows and damaging the body.
Pictures taken from the place of the incident show hate graffiti which the settlers also spray-painted on the cars, including the star of David.

Incidents of vandalism and attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank are commonly referred to as “price tag” attacks.
Price Tag is an anti-Palestinian Jewish group that routinely attacks Palestinians in the occupied territories and the Green Line.
The Israeli occupation government still refuses to label it as a terrorist organization and considers it only as a group of vandals.
There has been recently a sharp spike in settler violence against Palestinians and their properties in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The violent acts include beating, throwing stones, issuing threats, torching fields, destroying trees and crops, stealing crops, using live fire, and damaging homes and cars.
There are nearly 700,000 Israeli settlers living in 256 illegal settlements and outposts scattered across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.
