A Jewish settler on Friday set fire to hundreds of fruitful olive trees in Safa village west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
According to SAFA news agency a settler threw Molotov cocktails at Palestinian-owned olive groves in the western area of Safa village setting hundreds of trees on fire.
The flames raged for over three hours after the Israeli occupation forces prevented local residents and landowners whose groves are located behind the separation wall from entering the area to extinguish the fire and save the trees.
However after the blaze started to spread towards the illegal settlement of Kfar Ha’oranim the Israeli occupation authority used planes to control the fire.
