Settlers set fire to open Palestinian land in the south of the West Bank evening, which led to the burning of about 400 olive trees.

According to the Palestinian Information Center, the coordinator of the Popular and National Committees for Resisting the Wall and Settlement, Ratib al-Jabour, stated that a group of settlers from “Mitzpe Yair” settlement attacked the fields of citizens in the area of ​​”Khallet al-Daba” in “Masafer Yatta” (south of Hebron).

Al-Jabour added that settlers threw suspicious objects that set fire to vast areas and burned more than 400 olive trees, belonging to the Dabbasa family.
