Burin, Nablus District: Israeli settlers torch 24 50-year-old olive trees belonging to Palestinians

On Monday afternoon, 24 July 2023, a resident of the village of Burin noticed settlers setting fire to land belonging to Shadi Ziben (42). The land, which covers four dunams (1 dunam = 1,000 sq. meters), has about 60 50-year-old olive trees. The man told Ziben, but he was afraid to come to the plot due to the proximity of settlers who had set up tents in an adjacent plot earlier that month. He watched from afar as the fire consumed about 20 trees in his orchard.
