JERUSALEM, May 9, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers last night spray-painted anti-Arab graffiti on walls and slashed the tires of about 30 Palestinian-owned cars after raiding Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, according to local sources.
WAFA correspondent said the settlers spray-painted racist slogans, such as “death to Arabs” and “price tag” on walls, before slashing the tires of 30 vehicles.
Attacks by Israeli settlers in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank are commonplace. Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.
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 Jerusalem in 2016.
