In what appears to be an attack by extremist Israelis, a vehicle is set ablaze last night in the Palestinian village of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya in the central West Bank and the word “Revenge” in Hebrew spray-painted on the wall of a Palestinian home alongside a Star of David.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that another vehicle was set on fire last night in the village of Mughayyir a short distance from Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya.
There was no immediate comment from the Israel Police.
Both Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya and Mughayyir have been the subject of settler violence.
In June last year, 34 people were injured and 140 cars were burned in Al-Lubban by settler vigilantes after a deadly terror attack near Eli in 2023.
