Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, colonists set fire to agricultural lands surrounding the homes of residents. The occupation forces raided the area to protect the colonists, firing stun grenades, which intensified the fires and caused material damage to the lands.
