05 July '11: Video documentation: Settler sets fire to field in Burin
On Thursday, 30 June, around noon settlers torched fields surrounding the Yizhar settlement. The action apparently was in response to the knife-point carjacking of a vehicle belonging to a Yitzhar settler the previous night as she was driving through the Village of Huwara. The fires consumed dozens of dunams of land, including, according to military and Civil Administration officials quoted in the media, around 400 olive trees of residents of the adjacent Palestinian villages, Burin and Huwara. Some of the trees were completely destroyed.
