Palestinians have held a protest in the city of Umm al-Fahm after Israeli assailants vandalized a mosque in the city and set its front door on fire.
On Monday, more than one thousand Palestinian citizens in the city condemned the attack and the recent rise of the so-called “price-tag” violence by the Israelis.
The term “price-tag” is used to describe acts of vandalism and violence associated with Israeli settlers.
On numerous occasions, Israeli settlers have carried out “price-tag” attacks, targeting Palestinian properties, cars, mosques and olive trees.
On March 23, Israeli settlers launched an attack against Palestinians, puncturing the tires of 45 cars belonging to Palestinian residents in the Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Hanina in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
In January, Israeli settlers slashed the tires of some 30 cars belonging to Palestinians in the East al-Quds neighborhood of Sharafat.
Israelis also damaged 19 vehicles in the Ein Aluza neighborhood in East al-Quds last month.
According to the UN, there were nearly 400 incidents of settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in 2013.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank including East al-Quds.
