Israeli settlers torched a vehicle and sprayed graffiti in a West Bank village near Ramallah overnight, according to Palestinian media.
The suspected crime took place in Ein Yabrud.
Images show graffiti reading “Stop chasing Jews” and “Avi Bluth don’t mess with us.” That statement refers to the commander of the IDF’s Central Command, who has recently denounced the settler violence that has spiked in recent months.
Israeli police are expected to investigate the incident. There are no immediate reports of arrests.
Vandalism in Palestinian villages by Jewish extremists has become a common occurrence in the West Bank.
