NABLUS, (PIC)-- A number of Zionist settlers from the Yitzhar settlement on Saturday started fire in thousands of fruitful olive trees in the Palestinian village of Einbos, southeast of Nablus city, for the second time in a week.
Villagers reported that more than 2,000 olive trees were burnt in the incident, noting that the fire spread quickly due to the exceptionally high temperatures.
They also said that fire brigades could not control the fire because it covered vast areas of land and was spreading rapidly.
Zionist settlers from the same settlement last week set fire to hundreds of cultivated dunums in the same village.
In a separate incident in Ya'bad village, west of Jenin city, an IOF jeep hit a Palestinian child who was standing in front of his home shortly before midnight Friday.
Eyewitnesses affirmed that the jeep deliberately hit Adnan Masoud Abu Bakir, 13, who was bruised all over his body.
