Only five percent of Price-Tag attacks result in any suspect arrests.

Evidence

Israeli scholars Eiran and Krause (2016, 639), who studied the effect of Price-Tag attacks both in Jerusalem and the West Bank, found that: “Despite the tough talk and the significant impact on the daily lives of Palestinians and Israelis in the West Bank, only 5% of Price-Tag incidents have resulted in arrests of suspects.” In 2010, Israeli Channel 2 News reported that, according to police, ninety-seven Price-Tag attacks occurred over the previous five years without a single individual prosecuted (Hamo 2010). — Nadim N.
