Palestinian media reports that settler extremists overnight set several vehicles on fire near a residential building in the area of the villages of Talfit and Jalud, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
According to the reports, the settlers spray-painted graffiti reading “Revenge” and “Avi, go home,” apparently referring to Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth, who was replaced on live TV on Sunday night by Defense Minister Israel Katz, only to walk this back yesterday.
No injuries were reported.
