The Yesh Din rights group says Israeli settlers have torched fields belonging to Palestinians in the northern West Bank village of Burin.
The latest reported incident of settler violence comes as the World Court issues a ruling that blasts Israel for failing to reign in on such attacks and deems Israel’s presence in the territories to be illegal.
