Israeli settlers set fire to three cars in the West Bank

Israeli settlers set fire to three vehicles in Umm Safa, near Ramallah, coinciding with Israel's general elections. The settlers vandalized homes with racist graffiti. Israeli forces increased security across the West Bank, blocking Palestinian movement, especially towards Ramallah, and conducting military operations in Hebron. Checkpoints were established, restricting Palestinian access. These elections are the first since the Hamas attacks three years ago, amid escalating Israeli-Palestinian tensions. Recent polls indicate a coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot may secure 52 to 56 seats, compared to 50 for Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc.
