Itongadol.- A mosque was vandalized in Baka al-Gharbiya in the Wadi Ara region of central Israel overnight Saturday in an apparent price tag attack.
Anti-Muslim slogans, including "Muhammad is a pig," were spray-painted on the walls of the mosque.
The windows of several vehicles parked in the area were also broken.
Israeli politicians have discussed increasing penalties for right-wing extremists who carry out so-called price tag attacks in order to deter such acts which have become increasingly common in recent years.
Last month, several Muslim tombstones were spray-painted with the words “death to Arabs” and “price-tag” in Hebrew at Mamilla Cemetery in what police deemed a nationalistically-motivated hate crime at the historic site, adjacent to Jerusalem’s Independence Park.
A week later, unknown assailants threw two Molotov cocktails in a suspected price tag attack at a home in the Palestinian village of Burin, south of Nablus.
