Palestinian emergency services say settlers set fire to vehicles, assaulted people in village near Nablus

Palestinian emergency services report two people wounded and 10 vehicles burned in a settler attack this morning on the Palestinian village of Urif, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank.

The two wounded people were taken to a hospital, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society says. At least three bulldozers, two trucks and five cars were burned before firefighters put out the flames, according to the Palestinian Authority’s civil defense agency.

Palestinian media publishes sped-up security camera footage from about 8 a.m. showing over a dozen individuals storming an area close to a large shed, throwing stones and setting fire to vehicles.

Other footage captured on a handheld camera shows a car and bulldozer in flames next to a quarry, with a burnt-out bulldozer in the background. A man can be heard saying that settlers were responsible.

The IDF does not immediately respond to a request for comment, including on whether it was investigating the arson or had apprehended any suspects.
