West Bank, (Pal Telegraph)-Extremist  settlers torched on Thursday 100 olive trees planted by Palestinian farmers  in Makhmas, a village in the southeast of Ramallah.

Witnesses told that dozens of settlers provocatively stormed the area and torched olive trees before their withdrawal.

Residents rushed to the scene to put out the massive fire that caused great damage to their properties.

Makhmas council denounced the latest Israeli attack on the village and demanded all human rights institutions to intervene to stop settlers constant violations.

It’s noteworthy that many Palestinian families in the West Bank depend on agricultural production as a main source of income for their livelihood.
