On Saturday, settlers burned large areas of land in the town of Tarqumiya, west of Hebron.

An activist in the Wall and Settlement Resistance Committees, Suleiman Al-Jaafra, said that settlers burned an agricultural room belonging to the citizen Abu Yasser Hamdan, east of the Al-Taybeh area, close to the quarries, and the fire spread to large areas of citizens’ lands planted with olive and vine trees.

It is noteworthy that settlers burned large areas of citizens’ lands in the same area on the third of this month, and the occupation forces prevented citizens from reaching them to put out the fire, and arrested two of them, after assaulting them by beating them.

Since the seventh of last October, the occupation forces have been preventing farmers from accessing their lands in the areas of Al-Taybeh, Al-Hardash, Al-Muteena, and other lands threatened with seizure for the benefit of settlers.

It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation forces and settlers carried out 1,127 attacks in the West Bank during the
month of May, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission
