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.
