Jewish settlers set Palestinian barley yield on fire near Yatta town in Al-Khalil shortly after harvesting it, local sources said.

Ratib Al-Jabour, the coordinator of the popular committee in Yatta, told Quds Press that settlers from the Susiya settlement burnt the crops in Tawamin area.

He said that the yield is owned by Yousef Al-Shaanin and was reaped with the help of his friends.

Local and international reports have pointed to escalation in the settlers’ attacks on Palestinian citizens in various Wet Bank areas.
