NABLUS, Monday, March 27, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers last night set fire to Palestinian-owned agricultural fields in the northern West Bank town of Hawara causing serious damage to crops, according to Ghassan Daghlas, a local official.

He said settlers from the extremist Yitzhar settlement sneaked into the fields in the northern parts of the town and set crops on fire.

Residents rushed to put off the fire and succeeded in doing that before it caused more harm.

Settlers have been attacking Hawara almost daily despite the large presence of Israeli soldiers in the area, who are supposed to protect the defenseless and occupied Palestinian population.
