Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out an arson attack at dawn Friday, partially burning three Palestinian vehicles and spray-painting racist slogans in Rantis village, west of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.

Local sources said a group of colonizers infiltrated the village around 3 a.m. and set fire to three vehicles parked near homes. Residents confronted the assailants, forcing them to withdraw.

Residents added that the colonizers also spray-painted racist slogans on the walls of several Palestinian homes before heading toward nearby colonial outposts.

Friday’s attack was one of several recent incidents in the Ramallah area, reflecting a broader escalation in colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank.

Illegal paramilitary groups continue to target Palestinian communities with arson, property destruction, and intimidation under the protection of Israeli forces.

A day earlier, Israeli colonizers carried out a similar attack in Atara village, north of Ramallah, where they burned Palestinian cars and spray-painted racist graffiti.

Another attack was documented near Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, where colonizers hurled stones at a car owned by a Palestinian from nearby Sinjil, causing damage.
