NABLUS (Palestine Foundation Information Center) A group of settlers set fire to Palestinian-owned agricultural lands in Asira al-Qibliya town, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank on Sunday afternoon.
The head of the Asira al-Qibliya village council, Hafez Saleh, affirmed that Jewish settlers from the “Yitzhar” illegal settlement attacked the eastern area of the town and set fire to agricultural lands before trying to attack local homes.
Local residents succeeded in confronting the settlers and forcing them to leave the town.
However, the Israeli forces stormed the town and attacked the residents with teargas bombs.
