Settlers disconnected electricity poles supplying a house belonging to the Sufan family in Burin, south of Nablus, on Tuesday, according to Shehab Wire. The action left the home without power in what the agency characterized as a fresh assault targeting residents and their property in the occupied West Bank.
The incident occurred amid ongoing tensions in the area. Burin, located in the southern reaches of Nablus governorate, has experienced repeated confrontations between Palestinian residents and Israeli settlers. The cutting of power lines represents a form of infrastructure damage that Palestinian communities say compounds the hardship they face from settlement expansion and related restrictions on their movement and resources.
