Palestinian media report that settlers set fire overnight to agricultural land near the villages of Jalud, in the Nablus area, and Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah.

No injuries have been reported.

According to the reports, the fire in Jalud was set near the home of a Palestinian family on the outskirts of the village.

According to a report published this week by Haaretz, settlers have been surrounding the family’s home for several days, preventing family members from entering or leaving.
