Settlers attacked the village of Burqa northwest of Nablus this evening, setting multiple vehicles ablaze and firing weapons at residents, Shehab Wire reported, citing local sources. The assault unfolded as Palestinian civilians were present in the area, with gunfire exchanged during the raid.
The attackers operated in the village for a period before withdrawing from the scene. Local sources did not report immediate casualties, though the incident resulted in property damage to vehicles and heightened security concerns in the community.
