Disused mosque burnt in Jerusalem attack - Islamweb.net -EnglishVandals have set fire to a disused mosque in Jerusalem, daubing inflammatory graffiti in Hebrew on the walls in an apparent anti-Palestinian "price tag" attack.
Israeli police said on Wednesday they were investigating the overnight incident which took place near the busy shopping district around Jaffa Street.
Slogans insulting the Noble Prophet Mohammad and other graffiti reading "A good Arab is a dead Arab" and "price tag" were spray-painted on the exterior walls of the building, the AFP news agency reported.
The "Price tag" slogan is generally associated with attacks on Palestinian property, often mosques, by Jewish settlers in the illegally occupied West Bank. Attacks on mosques beyond the West Bank are less common.
Some of the building's exterior walls were burnt and there was a strong smell of petrol, although it appeared the fire had not caught, AFP reported.
