Jewish Settlers Set Fire to Palestinian Farms

Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA

JENIN, September 17, 2011 (WAFA) – Extremist Jewish settlers Saturday set fire to Palestinian farms adjacent to the evacuated Homesh settlement, south of Jenin, said security sources.

They said 15 settlers broke into the area under Israeli army protection, verbally assaulting local residents and setting fire to fields near the settlement.

Homesh was evacuated in 2005 as part of Israel’s plan to remove few settlements in the West Bank, but settlers often return to the settlements in an attempt to rebuild it.

Sources said Israel intensified its military presence around Arrabah and Sanour, villages south of Jenin.
