JERUSALEM, August 19, 2018 (WAFA) – Extremist Israeli settlers last night punctured the tires of many vehicles belonging to Palestinian citizens and spray-painted racist graffiti in the neighborhood of al-Issawiya in occupied East Jerusalem, local sources said.

Ra’ed Abu Rayala, of the al-Issawiya Follow-Up Committee, said extremist settlers belonging to far-right Jewish group “Price Tag” broke into the neighborhood in middle of the night before they punctured the tires of dozens of parked vehicles.

He added that the settlers spray-painted racist anti-Arab graffiti on walls and on some of the parked vehicles.

Many Palestinian activists and rights groups have repeatedly blamed Israel for fostering a “culture of impunity” for Israelis committing violent acts against Palestinians.

Better known as "Price Tag" attacks, extremist Israeli settlers carry out violent acts of punishment on Palestinians and their property to demonstrate their opposition to Israeli restrictions on settlements and their outposts in the occupied West Bank.
