NABLUS, (PIC)-- Jewish settlers set hundreds of Palestinian olive trees on fire in Jamaeen and Yasuf villages to the south of Nablus.

Fathi Hamdan, a farmer, said on Wednesday that Jewish settlers from the Tafuh settlement started the blaze that destroyed more than 300 olive trees owned by farmers of the two villages.

He charged that the settlers routinely attack Palestinian land in those villages in a bid to terrorize citizens into abandoning their land, which the settlers seek to annex to their settlement.
