3 Israelis arrested for hate crime at Palestinian village

Police say three Israelis have been arrested on suspicion of carrying out a hate crime attack in the Palestinian village of Husan near the Beitar Illit settlement.

Surveillance camera footage from the June 1 incident documented unidentified vandals puncturing tires and spray-painting a number of buildings in the West Bank village.

Local residents found the words “Jews do not keep silent” and “Husan breeds stone-throwers” painted on a warehouse and several homes.

Two of the suspects have had their remand extended until tomorrow, while the third will be brought before a judge later today.
