Israeli settlers attacked a village in the occupied West Bank, setting fire to two homes owned by members of the al-Tubasi family and preventing the family from returning to the properties, according to reports.
The incident escalated when some of the settlers turned their aggression towards Israeli security forces who were present in the area, with clashes reported between the settlers and the officers. Details about injuries, arrests or the scale of the damage to the properties were not disclosed in the initial account.
Residents of the affected village said the al-Tubasi family was denied access to their homes after the fires began. Local sources described the scene as chaotic, with the intervention of security forces failing to immediately restore access for the displaced family members.
The attack reflects continuing tensions in parts of the West Bank between Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents. Authorities have not issued a detailed public statement on the incident or on any planned investigations into the arson and the confrontations with security personnel.
