Settlers torch Palestinian olive grove in West Bank

Residents from the northern West Bank settlement of Yitzhar torch dozens of Palestinian olive trees at the nearby village of Burin, the IDF tells The Times of Israel.

The suspects were spotted by an IDF lookout, but were able to flee before security forces arrived at the scene, the spokesperson says.

The incident marks a week of attacks stemming from the radical settlement, which have targeted IDF soldiers, an army ambulance as well as Palestinian civilians.
