Settlers severed electrical poles supplying power to a residence in Burin, a village south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, the Ma'an news agency reported. The deliberate cutting of the lines left the household without electricity. Burin has experienced a pattern of settler attacks and destruction of Palestinian infrastructure over an extended period.
The incident marks another instance of what Palestinian officials and rights groups characterize as harassment targeting Palestinian communities in areas near Israeli settlements. No immediate statement was available from Palestinian or Israeli authorities regarding the outage or any response measures.
