Israeli settlers set fire to vehicle near Hebron
Extremist Israeli settlers have set fire to a vehicle in the al-Kassara area, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the Quds News Network reports.
There has been an uptick in Israeli settler violence against Palestinian communities in recent weeks.
In one assault on the village of Khirbet Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, the words “revenge” and “Funduq” were graffitied in Hebrew on a wall with a Star of David, referencing the location of a shooting attack on January 6 in which three Israelis were killed.
