| Suspected ‘price tag’ vandalism, attempted arson of mosque in West Bank town |
| 2022-03-25 |
| [IsraelTimes] Paleostinians in the West Bank town of Jamma’in woke up this morning to discover their town had been targeted in an apparent hate crime, including an alleged attempt to set fire to a mosque. A slogan reading: "Jews will not be silent when we are murdered" along with a Star of David, is graffitied on a nearby wall, according to images from the scene. There is slight damage to the mosque in the arson attempt. The Israel Police says forces are preparing to enter the town to collect evidence. Incidents of vandalism against Paleostinians and Israeli security forces are commonly referred to as "price tag" attacks, with perpetrators claiming that they are retaliation for Paleostinian violence or government policies seen as hostile to the settler movement. The suspected vandalism and attempted arson comes two days after four Israelis were killed in a terror attack in Beersheba, by an Arab Israeli man from the Bedouin town of Hura. Jamma’in is located in the northern West Bank, near the settlement of Ariel. |

| #1 I am suspicious of any hate crime, especially attempted arson where nothing is actually destroyed, but a calling card is left. |
