A group of Jewish settlers set fire to a Palestinian-owned house and vehicle in Burqa town, northwest of Nablus, in the north of the occupied West Bank on Monday evening.
Local sources reported that the settlers attacked a house belonging to the local citizen Mahmoud Hamed, located on the main street near the western entrance to the town, and threw Molotov cocktails at it, which led to the outbreak of fire at the house and a vehicle parked next to it.
Activists used mosque speakers to call on the town inhabitants to confront the settlers’ attack.
Jewish settlers intensified their attacks in the occupied West Bank, with near-daily assaults taking place across the territory.
Since October 7, at least 398 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 4,500 others injured by Israeli forces and settlers’ gunfire in the occupied territory, according to figures released by the Health Ministry.
