RAMALLAH, November 11, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists set fire to dozens of vehicles, dozens of olive trees and a storage facility during on Wednesday an attack on the village of al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, south of Nablus.

Local sources said dozens of colonists attacked the al-Qanater area north of the village, setting fire to a vehicle scrapyard and burning more than 100 vehicles. The flames also engulfed around 10 vehicles belonging to residents parked near nearby homes, as well as several vehicles at a repair workshop in the area.

The head of the al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya village council told WAFA that losses were estimated at more than one million shekels, as the fire spread across a large area, destroying land, trees and vehicles.

He added that dozens of olive trees, storage facilities and streetlight poles were also burned, cutting off electricity to the area.

Hundreds of residents rushed to the scene as soon as the fire broke out and used rudimentary means to try to contain the flames before Civil Defense crews arrived.

Several residents suffered from smoke inhalation due to fumes from the burning vehicles. Palestine Red Crescent Society teams from Salfit, in coordination with the society's local team in the village, provided first aid to the injured at the scene.

Meanwhile, five Civil Defense teams dispatched from Salfit and the towns of Aqraba, Burin, Sinjil and Abwein worked to extinguish the fire, which continued for more than five hours. More than 10 Israeli military vehicles also stormed the village and headed toward the scene of the fire.
