More than 50 Israeli occupiers attacked Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, a village south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, late Tuesday and set vehicles at a scrapyard on fire, local sources told Anadolu Agency.
The attackers came from nearby illegal settlement outposts and poured accelerants over the vehicles before setting them alight.
Clashes broke out with Palestinian residents, prompting the attackers to withdraw, the sources said. Israeli military vehicles then entered the area.
Local media shared footage of the blaze and reported that it was spreading toward nearby homes. Residents appealed for help as firefighters struggled to bring the fire under control.
Israeli army raids and attacks by Israeli occupiers have intensified across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since October 2023. Reports have included killings, arrests, home demolitions, arson attacks, land bulldozing and the displacement of Palestinian communities.
