Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Friday night launched flare bombs over the eastern area of Yatta town near the West Bank city of al-Khalil burning tracts of Palestinian farmland.
Local sources said that the IOF bombs burned over two dunums of Palestinian-owned land planted with wheat and barley in Mneizel area east of Yatta.
Palestinian residents in the area rushed to the scene and managed to put off the fire before it could spread further.
IOF and settler attacks on Palestinian citizens and their property are commonplace in the West Bank but recently they have seen a noticeable escalation.
