Suspected Jewish extremists slashed the tyres of cars in a northern West Bank village and scrawled Hebrew graffiti on a nearby wall, Palestinians and Israelis said on Monday. Hafez Abu Obaya, head of the Yasuf council, told AFP the incident had taken place overnight Sunday, saying: "Settlers wrote 'price tag' on a wall and punctured the tyres of three cars nearby." He said the attack took place as the Israeli "army raided four houses and arrested a man in his early 20s."
