NABLUS, West Bank, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- Jewish settlers set fire on Saturday afternoon to several olive groves near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, causing severe damage, Palestinian eyewitnesses said. The witnesses as well as Palestinian security sources said that a number of armed Jewish settlers set fire to the olive groves near the towns of Howara and Ainaboos south of the city. Firefighters arrived to the scene and fought the fire, no injuries were reported, according to the sources. Ghassan Daghlass, the Palestinian official in charge of settlement affairs in northern West Bank, said in a press release emailed to reporters that the fire had damaged dozens of acres planted with olives. The witnesses said that clashes erupted between Palestinian farmers in the area and the settlers, no injuries reported. The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) had warned of new official Israeli plans of escalating the settlers assaults on the Palestinians in revenge for the Palestinian bid to the United Nations for full membership of their statehood. In the West Bank, there are currently around half a million Jewish settlers living in around 120 Jewish settlements established in the occupied Palestinian territory, while there are 2.5 million Palestinians also living in the area.
