Large areas of Palestinian-owned farmland were set on fire on Monday after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) heavily fired stun grenades near Hableh town in the West Bank district of Qalqilya.

Local sources said that a huge fire broke out after stun grenades fired by IOF soldiers landed on farmlands owned by Palestinian residents of Hableh.

They reported that dozens of dunums of agricultural land were damaged partially or completely in the attack.

Hableh village is constantly targeted in attacks by settlers and IOF soldiers. It is also one of Qalqilya’s hardest-hit areas by illegal land seizure and settlement expansion.
