NABLUS (Ma’an) — Israeli settlers attacked a man and set fire to his tractor on Tuesday near Nablus in the northern West Bank, a Palestinian Authority official said.
Settlement affairs official Ghassan Doughlas told Ma’an that residents of the illegal Itamar settlement attacked Ashraf Jami near Yanoun, but he was able to escape.
The settlers torched Jami’s tractor, Doughlas said, adding that locals managed to put the fire out but the vehicle had already been damaged.
The Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees released a report on Tuesday which documented settler attacks against Palestinian agriculture.
It found that over 53 percent of settler attacks in October had taken place in the Nablus district and 13 farmers were injured in the region as a result of settler violence.
Over 2,600 olive trees were destroyed by settlers in October, resulting in a monetary loss of around $150,000, the report said.
Since 1967, 800,000 olive trees have been uprooted resulting in a loss of around $55 million to the Palestinian economy, according to a report by the Palestinian Authority Ministry of National Economy and the Applied Research Institute of Jerusalem.
