Settlers reportedly broke into a restaurant near the West Bank city of Nablus and stole cash before setting it on fire, completely destroying it overnight Saturday-Sunday.

The restaurant’s owner, who also serves as the head of the Lubban ash-Sharqiya village council, Yaqub Oweis, told the Palestinian news agency Wafa that the damage is estimated at around NIS 1 million (approximately $330,000).

Footage shows people inspecting the charred insides of the eatery, which appears to be entirely destroyed.

Elsewhere in the West Bank, settlers arrived at a family’s home in the Masafer Yatta region, harassed them, and cut their electricity line, Wafa reported on Sunday.

Palestinian media also reported that settlers arrived at a Bedouin community near Khan al-Ahmar, east of Jericho, on Friday evening. According to footage from the scene, settlers deliberately rammed several residents and sprayed pepper spray at others. Several people were reportedly lightly injured.

Separate footage published later shows police arriving at the scene. According to the reports, officers arrested several residents and detained the ATV driver.
