’Israelis’ Desecrate Palestinian Christian Graves, Torch Vehicles

Local Editor

Attackers desecrated graves in a Palestinian Christian cemetery in Yafa and damaged property nearby, in an incident that bore the hallmarks of a "price tag" hate crime.

"Israeli" Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that headstones in the Orthodox Christian graveyard in Yafa were sprayed with Hebrew graffiti and the tires of five vehicles parked nearby were slashed.

"Apparently the incident took place overnight," he told AFP, saying the attackers had daubed "price tag" and "revenge" at the site.
"Price tag" is the term given settlers' hate crimes which generally target Palestinians.

They tend to involve the vandalism or destruction of property and have included arson attacks on cars, mosques and olive trees.

Two weeks ago anti-Christian graffiti was daubed on the Church of the Dormition, one of al-Quds' leading pilgrimage sites.
Meanwhile, "Israeli" extremists set fire to two vehicles in a parking lot in al-Quds Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. Graffiti reading "price tag" was found nearby.

One vehicle sustained heavy damage.

Similar acts were recorded in Occupied al-Quds earlier. The tires of four vehicles in Sheikh Jarrah were slashed, and graffiti reading "Eviatar's revenge" was found nearby some two weeks ago.
Simultaneously, unknown vandals slashed the tires of three vehicles in the Shufat refugee camp.
