Dramatic rise in hate crimes by Jewish extremists reported
Authorities registered 23 hate crime incidents by suspected Jewish extremists over the past weekend, a sharp rise over the previous weekend when four such incidents were recorded, Army Radio reports.
The crimes include a number of incidents of vandalism against Palestinian homes and arson attacks on vehicles.
The station quotes a chorus of defense forces saying “these incidents bring more terror and directly harm other efforts, chiefly the hunt for the terrorists who carried out the Jordan Valley attack.”
Two British-Israeli sisters were killed and their mom critically wounded in a shooting attack along a West Bank road on Friday.
