Jewish settlers from Yitzhar Settlement on Friday set fire to large tracts of Palestinian farmland burning down crops and trees in Madama village in the West Bank district of Nablus.
Eyewitnesses reported that a group of settlers torched lands owned by Palestinian citizens from Madama causing severe damages.
They said that Israeli occupation forces fired gas bombs towards the fire crews and volunteering youths while they were trying to put out the fire.
Two arson attacks launched by Israeli settlers on Palestinian-owned farmland were reported yesterday in the neighboring villages of al-Sawiya and Yatma in Nablus.
