Palestinians from the village of Ein Yabrud in the Benjamin region attempted to set fire to tires and block the access road to the Israeli outpost of Kfar Anah earlier this week. The outpost is located between the settlements of Beit El and Ofra. The Palestinians' attempt to ignite the blockade backfired when the fire spread to a nearby Palestinian car lot.
Following the incident, residents of the nearby village falsely accused Israeli settlers of starting the fire, claiming the car lot was set ablaze by them. The residents of Kfar Anah reported the event to security forces, but the perpetrators managed to escape.
In response, residents of Kfar Anah stated that this was another "blood libel" as part of a campaign against settlers, which they claim is often successful and even receives cooperation from Israeli media. They asserted that this time, they were fortunate to have documented the entire event from beginning to end, disproving the accusations. They urged the public to approach reports of settler violence with caution and to verify such claims, warning against falling prey to a "malicious and antisemitic campaign."
