Palestinian Authority officials recently estimated that "Price Tag" acts were likely to increase in the coming days in the wake of the impending evacuation of Migron. They instructed Palestinians in the area to remain vigilant.
"Price Tag" acts were recently reported in the West Bank. On Tuesday, two torched vehicles with graffiti messages reading "Regards from Asher Palmer" and "Revenge" were discovered in Kafr Sayeer, located northeast of Hebron.
Asher Palmer and his eight-month-old son were killed about a year ago when their car went off the road after it was stoned on Highway 60, near Kiryat Arba in the West Bank.
Also Tuesday, the High Court of Justice held a hearing on the eviction of 50 Migron families. It is slated to make a decision on the matter in the coming days.
