NABLUS, July 1, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Tuesday set fire to dozens of dunums of land in the village of Duma south of Nablus, according to a local official.
Abdullah Ziyada, head of the village council, told WAFA that colonists from the illegal colony of Yitzhar set fire to agricultural fields stretching along the bypass road, destroying hundreds of olive trees.
Residents, assisted by Palestinian civil defense crews, rushed to the area to contain the flames; however, colonists and Israeli forces actively obstructed the firefighting efforts by preventing the teams from accessing the village’s nearby water well, located near the al-Murabba checkpoint, to refill their fire trucks.
