Police in Jaffa have dismissed claims by the family of Hanan Abu Shehadeh that their car was deliberately vandalized following a recent attack on Abu Shehadeh. Authorities stated that the damage to the vehicle was the result of a suspected break-in and theft, not a targeted act of intimidation. The family, however, maintains that the incident was meant to frighten them and silence their calls for justice after Abu Shehadeh was assaulted in what police describe as a racially motivated attack. The case has sparked protests and heightened tensions within the local community, as the investigation into both incidents continues.
