Israel Police arrested four teenage Jewish girls after they were found in the Muslim cemetery in the Old City of Jerusalem just after midnight last night, Yeshiva World reported.
Police reportedly suspect the four girls, aged 15- to 17-years-old, were planning a price tag vandalism attack on the cemetery.
The girls allegedly cursed Border Police and refused to answer questions or cooperate, leading to their arrests.
Settler defense attorney Itamar Ben-Givir, who is associated with various Kahane groups, reportedly called the girls’ arrest “an outrage” because the courts have already ordered police not to arrest people simply for being in or near a cemetery late at night, because that is not a crime. However, police continue to do so in defiance of the court orders, Ben-Givir reportedly charged.
A string of anti-Muslim and anti-Christian price tag attacks have been staged over the past several years. Cemeteries, mosques, churches and monasteries have been desecrated and even set on fire, allegedly by Zionist Orthodox and Sefardi haredi Jewish teens from West Bank settlements and from Jerusalem.
The most recent attacks took place late last week.
