(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Extremist Jewish settlers, spray-painted anti-Palestinian graffiti on walls and torched a Palestinian-owned vehicle after raiding the East Al-Quds Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Safafa.
Settlers reportedly spray-painted “Death to the Arabs” and “Price Tag” in Hebrew, before setting a vehicle on fire, according to the PNN.
“Price tag” refers to an underground anti-Palestinian Israeli group that routinely attack Palestinians in the occupied territories and inside Israel.
The Israeli regime still refuses to label it as a terrorist organization and considers it to be merely a group of vandals.
Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the occupied West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
Settler violence includes property and temple arson — including churches — stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Al-Quds Jerusalem and the West Bank, in violation of international law.
All settlements across the West Bank are illegal under international law, particularly with regard to article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which establishes that the occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), there were a total of 107 reported settler attacks against Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank and occupied East Al-Quds Jerusalem in 2016.
