RAMALLAH, Friday, June 7, 2024 (WAFA) – Extremist Israeli colonists today set fire to vast areas of agricultural land and a vehicle scrapyard in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, said a local official.
The head of the Burqa village council, Sayel Kanaan, told WAFA that a group of colonists, from the illegal Oz Etzion colonial outpost, set ablaze around 500 dunums of land in the northern and western parts of Burqa village. The fire that swept through the land destroyed dozens of ancient olive trees.
