Two buses have been burned down in an open parking lot in the Israeli-occupied territories, more than a week after over a dozen buses were torched and destroyed in a similar incident that police suspect was part of a protection racket.

According to a report published by the English-language Jerusalem Post daily newspaper, the attack took place on Golda Meir Street in Rishon Lezion city, located eight kilometers (5 miles) south of Tel Aviv, in the early hours of Sunday. No casualties were reported.

Firefighters were reportedly working to extinguish the fire. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Back on June 11, eighteen buses were destroyed when they were torched in the early hours of the day in the northern Israeli city of Safed.

A number of other vehicles were damaged in the attack at the central bus station. There were no reports of injuries at the time.

Sixteen of the buses reportedly belonged to the Afifi transportation company based in Nazareth. The other two destroyed vehicles belonged to Netiv Express, which is part of the same group.
