It should be marked that residents of the area rushed to extinguish the fire. It is when colonists fled the scene and the army soldiers detained and investigated the members of the targeted family. Noteworthy, this attack comes in time with the incident of killing two colonists nearby Beit Furik village, east of Nablus city.
Torching Palestinian vehicles by colonists’ gangs became a phenomenon that spread over the Palestinian suburbs. Noteworthy, the Israeli jurisdiction and police never take action to reduce this phenomenon
