A Palestinian American man, Mustafa Zaatar, said his home was attacked and three vehicles were set on fire during an overnight incident east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, according to reports.
Zaatar said his American citizenship did not shield him from the raid, raising questions about the protections afforded to dual nationals in the area. The incident adds to a broader pattern of reported confrontations involving Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents in the West Bank.
Details on the identities of those responsible for the attack and any resulting investigation were not immediately available.
The West Bank has seen a rise in reported settler violence in recent periods, with Palestinian residents and international observers calling for greater accountability from Israeli authorities regarding attacks on Palestinian communities and property.
