Madama, Nablus District: Israeli settlers set fire to privately owned Palestinian land, soldiers fired live rounds in the air

On Monday, 13 May 2024, at around 2:30 P.M., about 20 settlers, some masked, arrived at the southern side of the village of Madama, escorted by soldiers. They threw stones and set fire to residents’ lands. When residents came out to protect their property and put out the fire, the soldiers fired live rounds into the air.

The settlers and soldiers left after about three hours, and it was only then that local residents managed to put out the fire.
