Settlers reportedly torch Palestinian fields, block fire trucks from reaching the scene

Settlers torched agricultural lands on the outskirts of the central West Bank village of al-Mughayyir late Monday night, Palestinian media reports.

The Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news site says that the IDF arrived at the scene after the fire broke out and prevented residents from approaching the area to try and put out the fire, firing live rounds toward those who disobeyed.

Palestinian media also reports that settlers prevented ambulances and fire trucks from reaching the scene.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
