Vandalism in West Bank: Car Torched, 'Revenge Nova' Graffiti Found

Palestinian reports indicate that overnight between Saturday and Sunday, a car was set on fire and graffiti was sprayed on a house in the village of As-Samu in the southern Hebron Hills. Among the graffiti messages was "Revenge Nova." Palestinians attribute the act to settlers who allegedly arrived at the village during the night, torched the vehicle, and sprayed the graffiti before leaving the scene. No injuries were reported, and the identities of the perpetrators have not yet been officially determined.

The incident occurs amid a renewed rise in violence and friction between Jews and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent days. This follows other acts of arson, vandalism, and violence attributed to Jewish perpetrators, including a significant event in Jalud where over 100 Israelis attacked Palestinian property and security forces.

The heightened tensions coincide with the start of the olive harvest season. In recent days, several friction points have been reported around agricultural lands. In one incident, approximately 25 Palestinians reportedly attacked a group of settlers near a water well in Samaria, injuring a teenager. Other confrontations have been recorded between Palestinians and settlers concerning olive harvest work.
