Palestinian sources report that all machines and heavy equipment at the Ein Samiya quarry, near al-Mughayyir in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria, were set on fire in a suspected price-tag attack. No injuries or suspects have been reported. The report adds detail to an earlier account of heavy equipment being set on fire at the same site.
This morning, The Zioneer reported (07:23) that heavy construction equipment was set on fire overnight at the Ein Samiya quarry. A new report from Palestinian sources now states that all machines and heavy equipment at the quarry were torched, indicating a more extensive attack. The quarry is located near the village of al-Mughayyir in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria, northeast of Ramallah. No injuries or suspects have been reported, and the incident remains unverified by Israeli authorities.
The attack is the latest in a series of suspected price-tag attacks in Judea and Samaria in recent weeks. Similar incidents have included arson and vandalism near Hebron, Qalqilya, and the villages of Jit and Far'ata, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The pattern of attacks has drawn condemnation from Israeli officials and raised concerns about security in the area.
