RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian residents and the Israeli military say Jewish settlers vandalized property overnight in a Palestinian village in the West Bank.

The incident took place in the village of Jen Safout, where 34-year-old Abdullah Anash says three settlers entered the village and burned his car and that of a neighbor.

Associated Press TV footage showed two burned cars and a wall spray-painted with the words “price tag” in Hebrew — a reference to a radical settler tactic of harming Palestinian property to protest Israeli government policy.

The Israeli military condemned the incident Friday and said police would investigate.

About 300,000 Israeli settlers live among 2.5 million Palestinians in the Israeli-controlled West Bank.
