Settlers burn three cars and spray slogans in Umm Safa overnight
The head of the Umm Safa village council said settlers entered the western neighbourhood after midnight, set three vehicles alight and daubed racist slogans on walls.
Israeli settlers set fire to three vehicles in the village of Umm Safa, north-west of Ramallah, in the early hours of Tuesday, according to Marwan al-Sabbah, head of the village council, speaking to WAFA.
Al-Sabbah said the group entered the village's western neighbourhood after midnight and wrote racist slogans on several retaining walls before leaving. No injuries were reported.
The attack is one of a series recorded across the Ramallah area during the olive harvest. The UN's humanitarian office, OCHA, says settler attacks causing casualties or damage in 2026 have already passed 2,000, the highest number on record.
