Some 200 olive trees and grapevines were found destroyed Thursday morning in a Palestinian village adjacent to the Netiv Ha’avot outpost where 15 homes were cleared earlier this week for their court-ordered demolition.

Police said they were investigating the apparent hate crime in Beit Sakarya, where residents found the Hebrew phrase “Enough of the agricultural terror” spray-painted on a boulder at the scene — a reference to the tit-for-tat property attacks between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent months.

According to the Yesh Din rights group, this was the second such incident in Beit Sakarya over the past two weeks.

Last week, crops were destroyed and Hebrew-language graffiti was daubed in a separate incident in the northern West Bank Palestinian village of Burin.

There too, the phrase “Enough of the agricultural terror” was found spray-painted in Hebrew on one bale that was not set on fire.

On Sunday, police released to house arrest a 17-year-old from Bnei Brak suspected of carrying out a number of these so-called “price tag” attacks against Palestinian villages. His release came nearly two weeks after his imprisonment, during which he was prevented from seeing an attorney.

A second minor from the northern West Bank was also freed, though charges against him are believed to be less severe, given that he was permitted attorney visitation.

The arrest of the minors came amid a wave of dozens of hate attacks against Palestinians in recent months, which have included the chopping down of dozens of olive trees, the torching of a mosque, stones thrown through car windows, the slashing of tires, and graffiti calling for the murder of Arabs.
