NABLUS, Thursday, August 15, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers set fire to agricultural land belonging to Palestinians in the village of Burqa, north of Nablus, the northern occupied West Bank, said a local activist.
Ghassan Daghlas, an official in charge of the settlement file in the northern West Bank, told WAFA settlers from ‘Homesh’, a settlement that was evicted in 2005 as part of the disengagement from Gaza, set fire to the eastern area of the village of Burqa.
Settlers reportedly opened fire at residents and civil defense crews and prevented them from reaching the burning lands to put out the fire.
