Jewish settlers set fire to Palestinian cars

Two Palestinian-owned vehicles were torched in East Jerusalem early Wednesday morning, police said. Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Ma’an that "price tag" and "revenge" were sprayed near the burnt out vehicles in Sharafat, a Palestinian village near Gilo settlement. Police have opened an investigation into the incident but have not yet made any arrests, Rosenfeld said. The term "price tag" is used by Jewish settlers to describe a policy to attack Palestinians and their property in retaliation for perceived anti-settler actions by the Israeli government. Attacks are usually carried out in West Bank villages, but the torching Wednesday is the second incident in Jerusalem in recent weeks.
