29/04/2010 Israeli settlers from the illegally constructed area known as Yitzhar south of Nablus rioted Thursday morning, destroying Palestinian property in the town of Huwwara, following the Israeli occupation military arrest of seven settlers.
Palestinians said settlers set fire to agricultural lands and vandalizing homes and kindergartens as dozens of right-wing setters gathered in the Huwwara Park.
According to the Palestinians, the settlers threw stones, shattered windows and destroyed the roofs of local Palestinian homes.
The Palestinians said Israeli occupation soldiers did not prevent the settlers from venting their rage.
According to an Israeli police spokesman, settlers were arrested for earlier vandalism and destruction targeting Palestinians, known by setters as a "price tag" policy, aimed at causing harm to Palestinians and making trouble for soldiers who one settler leaders told reporters were "out to get" the settlers.
"At least 60 or 70 settlers came down to the village and destroyed Muhammad el-Sabata's home; then they entered a public garden and began torching olive trees and destroy trees. They burned at least 60 trees," a Huwwara resident told Ynet.
Last week Nablus-area residents woke up to smashed and burning cars with the words "price tag" spray painted on torched vehicles.
