A group of extremist Israeli settlers burnt, Sunday, dozens of olive trees belonging to a Palestinian from Nahhalin village, west of the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

Eyewitnesses said the extremists invaded a Palestinian olive orchard in Wadi Jamjoum area, southwest of the village, and burnt the trees.

The orchard is near the illegal Israeli colony of Bat Ayin, and belongs to resident Abdul-Mottaleb Fannoun.

A week ago, the extremists invaded the same olive orchard, and cut scores of olive trees and saplings.
