Palestinian vehicle vandalized, tires slashed in 'price tag' attack

The car of Hassan Sobach, a resident of Acre, was vandalized yesterday at a parking lot near Nahal Hashofet, in the north of the state of Israel. The tired of the vehicle were slashed and the car had a graphiti with the words 'price tag' and a star of David. During the past few weeks Palestinian citizens of Israel has been the target of many similar racist attacks. 

"I came with my family to tour the area," Sobach said. "We had a very good time, but the end of the day was very disappointing. The situation is bad; we hear about price tag attacks on a daily basis and there is no one to stop the perpetrators."

According to Alray, Sobach explained that the Israeli authorities are not trying to put an end for such attacks carried out by extremist Jews and settlers. "The sad part is that it will continue happening again and again. It is about time someone stops these criminals," he said.

The incident is the latest in a series of similar attacks over recent weeks that have spread into areas inside pre- 1948 occupied Palestine. On Tuesday, the tires of dozens of vehicles were slashed in Fureidis, and a Star of David and the writing 'Close mosques, not yeshiva' was spray-painted on the wall of the town's mosque.

“Price tag” is a term used to describe acts of vandalism and violence associated with the settler movement in retaliation for Palestinian attacks and to protest what they perceive as the Israeli government’s pro-Palestinian policies
