Israeli illegal settlers attack 3 Palestinian children, torch farmland in occupied West Bank

Local sources said Israeli illegal settlers torched olive groves between the towns of Turmus Ayya and Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah.

They added that Israeli forces raided the area and provided protection for the illegal settlers after local residents confronted them and forced them to withdraw.

The forces also prevented civil defence crews from reaching the scene to extinguish the fire.

In the village of Duma, south of Nablus, illegal settlers also set fire to land on which olive trees grow near the village entrance, causing damage to several trees.

Meanwhile, settlers grazed herds of camels and sheep on Palestinian farmland east of the villages of Taybeh and Rammun near Ramallah, causing extensive damage to crops and financial losses to Palestinian farmers.

Israel has escalated incursions and brutally treated Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, since launching genocide on Gaza on October 7, 2023.
