Israeli settlers set fire to a grove of olive trees belonging to Palestinian farmers in the village of Burqa, located near Ramallah, according to Al Jazeera.
The incident was reported by local residents who said the flames were deliberately lit, damaging a number of trees that had been cultivated by the farmers for generations.
Olive trees are a key part of Palestinian rural agriculture, providing both a source of income and a cultural symbol for communities across the West Bank.
The attack comes amid ongoing tensions between Israeli settlers and Palestinian villagers in the region, with similar incidents of vandalism and arson reported in recent months.
Local authorities have not yet released details on investigations or potential arrests related to the blaze.
