This is a list of attacks by radical Israeli settlers against Palestinians and Israeli security forces, known as price tag attacks. As of the October 6, 2023 snapshot the opening explained that these attacks have been in retribution for terrorist attacks where Jews have been killed, injured, maimed. Today the opening carries no such context, and that sentence is gone from the article entirely. A reader today learns that settlers carried out a campaign of retribution against Palestinians, and not what that retribution was for.

The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Olive tree in the village of Burin which was allegedly vandalized by settlers from Yitzhar This is a list of attacks reported or suspected price tag ( ) attacks or violence aimed at the Palestinian population and at Israeli security forces by radical Israeli settlers , who, according to The New York Times , "exact a price from local Palestinians or from the Israeli security forces for any action taken against their settlement enterprise".1 The Wall Street Journal states that the term refers to "a campaign of retribution by fundamentalist Israeli youths against Palestinians in the West Bank". Over the period from January 2012 to June 2013, Israeli police registered 788 cases of suspected price tag assaults in which 276 arrests were conducted, leading to 154 indictments. So-called price tag attacks have actually been carried out by people from all walks of life, not just "extremist", "settlers" and other terms intended to be derogatory as is usually reported. These attacks have been in retribution for terrorist attacks where Jews have been killed, injured, maimed etc. by Arabs; the point being to show that there is a price for terrorist activities. These "price-tag attacks" have been carried out where Israeli authorities have been negligent in responding to terrorist attacks and so civilians have done what police etc. did not. Where terrorists have been dealt with properly, no "price-tag attacks" occur.2 B'tselem , Background on violence by settlers,' 2011:'In recent years, settlers have carried out violent acts under the slogan "price tag." These are acts of random violence aimed at the Palestinian population and Israeli security forces.' Isabel Kershner, Mosque Set on Fire in Northern Israel , at The New York Times , 3 October 2011:'The attack followed a series of similar assaults on mosques in the West Bank by arsonists suspected of being radical settlers as part of a campaign known as "price tag," which seeks to exact a price from local Palestinians for violence against settlers or from Israeli security forces for taking action against illegal construction in Jewish outposts in the West Bank.' Uri Friedman, The 'Price Tag' Menace: Vigilante Israeli Settler Attacks Spread , at The Atlantic Wire , 3 October 2011:'The New York Times defines price tag attacks as incidents in which radical Jewish settlers "exact a price from local Palestinians or from the Israeli security forces for any action taken against their settlement enterprise".'
