Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem awoke to a suspected “price tag” attack Sunday morning. The vandals slashed the tires of seven Palestinian-owned cars, spray painted another and spray painted “price tag” on a wall.

Spotlight: Sheikh Jarrah

The slogan painted onto the car makes it appear to be an attempted act of revenge after an Israeli soldier was murdered in the central West Bank over the weekend. The Palestinian man accused of killing the soldier is not from Sheikh Jarrah or Jerusalem.

Residents reportedly videotaped the attack and handed it over to police, who asked that the video not be released so as not to harm the investigation into the “price tag” attack.

TEST TEST GAL Our team has been devastated by the horrific events of this latest war. The world is reeling from Israel’s unprecedented onslaught on Gaza, inflicting mass devastation and death upon besieged Palestinians, as well as the atrocious attack and kidnappings by Hamas in Israel on October 7. Our hearts are with all the people and communities facing this violence.    We are in an extraordinarily dangerous era in Israel-Palestine. The bloodshed has reached extreme levels of brutality and threatens to engulf the entire region. Emboldened settlers in the West Bank, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to intensify their attacks on Palestinians. The most far-right government in Israel’s history is ramping up its policing of dissent, using the cover of war to silence Palestinian citizens and left-wing Jews who object to its policies.   This escalation has a very clear context, one that +972 has spent the past 14 years covering: Israeli society’s growing racism and militarism, entrenched occupation and apartheid, and a normalized siege on Gaza.   We are well positioned to cover this perilous moment – but we need your help to do it. This terrible period will challenge the humanity of all of those working for a better future in this land. Palestinians and Israelis are already organizing and strategizing to put up the fight of their lives.   Can we count on your support? +972 Magazine is a leading media voice of this movement, a desperately needed platform where Palestinian and Israeli journalists, activists, and thinkers can report on and analyze what is happening, guided by humanism, equality, and justice.
