Settlers set fire to Palestinian homes, cars in Nablus

Extremist Jewish settlers set Palestinian homes and cars ablaze during dawn raids in the east and south of Nablus province in the occupied West Bank this morning, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

According to local sources, settlers infiltrated the western area of Beit Furik town in eastern Nablus and burned an inhabited house and another one which was under construction belonging to the Hanani family.

Other sources said civil defence and firefighters were able to get three fires in Beit Furik under control; in a house, a grocery store and a vehicle.

In southern Nablus, another group of extremist settlers torched a house and two cars in the town of Huwara.

Local sources said that settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar also infiltrated Huwara and attacked the house of Tayseer Odeh and tried to storm it. Odeh’s house was then set on fire after settlers smashed its windows and threw Molotov Cocktails into it.

The settlers also set two cars alight in the same neighborhood.
