16-year old settler questioned for ‘price tag’ attacks
The Honenu legal aid organization says a 16-year-old boy was detained this morning in the northern West Bank and brought in for questioning over suspected involvement in a “price tag” attack earlier this month.
He has since been released, they say.
On Sunday, the Shin Bet security service released statistics showing far-right hate crimes against Palestinians have increased significantly since the beginning of 2018.
Through the first four months of the current calendar year, the Shin Bet documented 13 anti-Arab attacks (not including incidents this week). That was in contrast with only eight such incidents in all of 2017.
Three such attacks were reported overnight Wednesday-Thursday.
