Israeli settlers allegedly set fire to olive groves in Burqa in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on September 17, according to local residents. Residents said the settlers arrived around 8 a.m. and set the groves ablaze, while the Israeli army prevented them from approaching the fire. Israeli police said a suspect was arrested and transferred for questioning, while an investigation has been opened.
The incident comes weeks before the annual olive harvest, a major source of income for many Palestinian families and an important part of local cultural and historical life.
