Suspected Jewish extremists have vandalized Palestinian property in the West Bank in an apparent revenge attack for the killing of an Israeli soldier and evacuation of a settler outpost, police said Thursday.
Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP that "a number of suspects went into the village of Burqa" east of the Palestinian political capital of Ramallah, "and attempted to set fire to three vehicles".
"Graffiti was found at the scene," he said.
An AFP correspondent said the slogans "Death to Arabs", "Regards from Geulat Zion", "We love you Tomer Hazan" and "Price tag" were scrawled on the wall of a mosque.
Geulat Zion was a settler outpost in the northern West Bank that the Israeli army demolished on Wednesday.
Settlers then rampaged through the nearby Palestinian village of Jalud, setting fire to an olive grove and stoning cars and the local elementary school.
The army arrested four settlers.
Tomer Hazan is the 20-year-old Israeli soldier who was last month lured to a village in the northern West Bank and killed by a Palestinian with whom he had worked near Tel Aviv.
