Police report that price tag graffiti was found on an abandoned building in the PA (Palestinian Authority) village of Sinjel in the Gush Shilo area of Shomron on Thursday morning 8 Shevat.

Eyes are turned to the residents of Eish Kodesh in the Gush Shilo areas of Shomron as the graffiti included “regards from Eish Kodesh”, revenge” and “death to Arabs”.

Earlier in the week residents of Eish Kodesh were ambushed by residents of the PA village of Kariyut as they entered the area, as was reported by YWN-ISRAEL. They twenty plus Jews were quickly taken hostage by villagers, who beat and ridiculed them. They were released following IDF intervention. Their actions resulted in widespread condemnation from military commanders and senior government officials.

The latest attack incriminates Eish Kodesh residents, but there have been many such incidents in the past that have been learned to be the work of Arabs seeking to indict Jews.

Security officials are regarding the graffiti as another price tag incident, with the latter now classified as an act of terror by the cabinet.
