Israeli Settlers Set Room, Car on Fire near Nablus

NABLUS, October 27, 2011 (WAFA) – Jewish settlers Thursday set fire to a room and a car that belong to a Palestinian resident of Beit Furik, a town southeast of Nablus, according to Atef Hanani, mayor of the town.

He said that settlers, apparently from nearby settlements of Itamar and Alon Moreh, came to the house of Mashhour Hanani in the northern section of the town where they set fire to a room in the back of the house by cutting off the hose of a gas cylinder and setting it on fire causing heavy damage to the entire room and its contents.

The settlers also poured flammable material on a car parked near the house, burning it down.

Residents woke up at the sound of the blast of the gas cylinder and the smell of fire. They called the fire department for help.

Settlers have conducted several attacks against Nablus area villages in recent months, sabotaging property and carrying out arsons.
