The Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that settlers broke into a restaurant near Nablus overnight and stole cash before setting it on fire, completely destroying it.
The restaurant’s owner, who also serves as the head of the Lubban ash-Sharqiya village council, Yaqub Oweis, tells Wafa that the damage is estimated at a cost of around NIS 1 million (approximately $330,000).
