AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Dozens of Zionist settlers raided the village of Sa'ir east of Al-Khalil district on Saturday and burned tens of fruitful olive trees, local sources reported.

They said that the settlers set fire to the trees in lands owned by two families near to the settlement of Asfar then ran away, destroying 150 trees in the process.

The sources charged that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) protected the settlers.

Meanwhile, settlers in Ramallah district built a new settlement outpost near the city on Saturday night under protection of IOF troops.

Eyewitnesses said that the settlers wanted to block the building of a Palestinian housing project in the area and establish a settlement in its place.
