Graffiti on two mosques near Bethlehem

 
 Settlers sprayed racist graffiti on two mosques in a village near Bethlehem early Sunday, locals said.
The graffiti on the Tuku village's Bilal bin Rabah mosque included a threat that Palestinian stone-throwers would "pay the price" unless they stopped. They sprayed similar slogans on the Salah al-Din al-Ayoubi mosque.
According to witnesses, a group of settlers entered the Palestinian community early in the morning and spray-painted the slogans "price tag" and "stone terror" on the mosques' walls. The graffiti further included the words "revenge for Adelle Biton," a reference to an infant who was wounded alongside her mother and two siblings in a stone-throwing incident near the settlement of Ariel last month. Settlers also slashed the tires of two cars that were parked in the street, locals said.
Residents also said Israeli soldiers had guarded the settlers who participated in the vandalism.
An Israeli military spokeswoman did not say if troops were present in the area at the time of the incident, but she said security forces were looking into the attack.
