Israeli settlers today chopped down dozens of olive trees belonging to a Palestinian resident in the village of Burin to the south of Nablus, the northern occupied West Bank, according to a local activist.
Ghassan Daghlas, an official in charge of the settlement file in the northern West Bank, told WAFA the village resident discovered today that settlers had cut down 46 olive trees at the southern part of the village of Burin.
Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
