NABLUS, Saturday, June 27, 2020 (WAFA) – Extremist Israeli settlers took advantage of the hot weather today and set fire to fields in the village of Burin, south of Nablus city in the occupied West Bank, said a local source.
Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors Israeli settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told WAFA that settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar set fire to fields in the village of Burin, south of Nablus, causing fire to engulf a large area planted with trees.
Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been demanding international protection against Israeli settler attacks, often condoned and supported by the army.
Settler violence is commonplace across the occupied West Bank, and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities as the Palestinian Authority has no jurisdiction over Israeli settlers.
