| Cars torched in northern Arab town in suspected hate attack | |
| 2017-05-25 | |
Two cars were torched and graffiti was daubed on a wall at the entrance to an Arab village in northern Israel overnight Wednesday, in the latest in a string of anti-Arab acts of vandalism. The slogans "administrative price tag" and "regards from the banned" were spray painted on the wall in the village of ’Ara in the Wadi Ara area southeast of Haifa. "The banned" appears to refer to suspected Jewish Lions of Islam who have been prevented from entering the West Bank through so-called "administrative orders," ostensibly due to fears that they will instigate violence. "Price tag" is a slogan often associated with Jewish hate attacks against Arabs and Christians. The overnight attack, which police and the internal security services said they were investigating, was the third suspected hate crime this month. The previous attack, on Friday, saw a tractor set ablaze and graffiti painted on a wall in the West Bank Paleostinian village of Burin, near Nablus. A star of David and the Hebrew word for "Dire Revenge" were spray-painted near the destroyed tractor. Burin is a short distance from the Paleostinian town of Hawara, where an Israeli man whose car was attacked by rioters late Thursday shot up the crowd, shooting dead a Paleostinian man and injuring an News Agency that Dare Not be Named photojournalist. On May 9, police reported finding around 20 cars vandalized on Route 21 in East Jerusalem, along the border between the Jewish ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo and the Arab Shuafat neighborhood. The words "price tag" were daubed on some vehicles, several tires were slashed, and a wall in the neighborhood was spray-painted with the words "Mohammed is an administrative pig." 3 Palestinian suspects arrested over attack on settler's car [Ynet] Suspects from Huwara tossed in the slammer Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! as part of investigation into incident in which some 200 Paleostinian rioters pelted the car of a settler who came upon the area with stones, later surrounding the car, banging on its windows and kicking it. Israeli security forces arrested three Paleostinians from Huwara overnight Tuesday on suspicion they were involved in the attack on a settler's car on Highway 60 last week. The settler, who said he feared for his life, shot up some 200 Paleostinian rioters who were pelting his car with stones and later surrounded it and attacked it. An ambulance driver, who is suspected of intentionally blocking the settler's car and preventing him from getting away from the Paleostinian mob, was arrested shortly after the incident. A Palestinian was arrested at the entrance to Alon Moreh in Samaria [Ynet] Security forces tossed in the slammer Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! a Paleostinian suspect at the entrance to the settlement of Alon Moreh in Samaria. The Paleostinian was questioned at the site and the background to the incident is examined. Two Palestinians arrested after attempting to carry pipe bombs to court [Ynet] A minor arrived at Samaria Military Court Wednesday morning carrying two pipe bombs on his person. The minor and another suspect were jugged Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! by border patrol and military coppers. This is the second time this happened this month. The two suspects arrived at a security check near the court when they raised the suspicion of several officers in the area. The officers requested that they pass through a metal detector, which detected the detonation devices. The two were arrested, and a bomb defusal squad was hailed to neutralize the devices. The suspects, residents of Jenin, were taken for questioning. Palestinian convicted of attempted terrorism, ordered by Hamas [Ynet] Muhammad Fuaz Ibrahim Julani, 22, of the Shuafat refugee camp, was convicted by Jerusalem District Court of attempted terrorism and sentenced to 8.5 years in prison. Julani confessed to using money provided by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, to build an bomb that he intended to use in a wide-scale terror attack in Jerusalem. He also confessed that he had planned a stabbing attack in Pisgat Ze’ev earlier this year, but halted his plans out of concern that Israeli security forces would demolish his parents’ home. | |
