Nablus:More than 50 Israeli occupiers launched an attack on the village of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, situated south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, late Tuesday, igniting vehicles at a scrapyard, as reported by local sources.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, the attackers originated from nearby illegal settlement outposts and used accelerants to set the vehicles on fire.

Following the outbreak of clashes with Palestinian residents, the occupiers withdrew from the scene. Subsequently, Israeli military vehicles entered the area.

Local media shared footage showing the fire spreading towards nearby homes, with residents urging for assistance as firefighters struggled to control the blaze.

Israeli army raids and attacks by Israeli occupiers have seen an increase across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since October 2023. These incidents have involved reports of killings, arrests, home demolitions, arson attacks, land bulldozing, and the displacement of Palestinian communities.
