Ramallah (Al-Ittihad)
Yesterday, Israeli settlers burned productive agricultural lands in the town of Barqa in the Ramallah Governorate in the occupied West Bank, for the second time in less than a week.
The mayor of the town of Barqa, Sayel Kenan, said that Israeli settlers burned about 400 dunums of Palestinian land planted with fruit trees such as olives. He added: “For the second time in less than a week, fires have been set by settlers.” Later yesterday, Kenan said, “Settlers re-attacked the town and tried to burn Palestinian homes. They also burned a warehouse for old vehicles.” He stated that Israeli army forces opened fire on a group of Palestinians who tried to repel the settlers’ attack.
