Today, Friday, a number of settlers attacked the village of Beitin, east of Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate, and set fire to the vicinity of a number of homes.

Video clips showed the spread of settlers near inhabited houses in the northeastern side of the village, close to the bridge between the villages of Beitin and Deir Dibwan, where they set fire to dry grass on lands adjacent to the houses, as an indication of their intention to burn them.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces prevented the villagers from confronting the colonists' attack, and later obstructed their attempts to put out the fire.
