Settlers attacked the village of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus in the West Bank, setting fire to numerous civilian vehicles and commercial facilities, causing extensive material damage. Palestinian sources reported that a group of settlers stormed the village, assaulted residents, and destroyed a car repair workshop and a spare parts warehouse. This led to the burning of a large number of vehicles and machinery, and the complete destruction of the workshop.

The attack extended to the Wadi Al-Sha'er area near Al-Zaytouna University, where settlers targeted vehicles belonging to residents of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya and 'Amuriya villages. They also blocked civilian traffic for over two hours. Following the assault, fires broke out in several cars, and firefighting crews began extinguishing the flames.

Simultaneously with the settler attack, Israeli forces entered the village. The official Palestinian News Agency stated that the forces' presence was to protect the settlers while the assaults on residents and their property continued.
