West Bank farmers rush to harvest crops amid rising settler arson attacks

Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank village of Al Mughayyir rush to harvest what remains of the wheat crop they planted as Israeli settlers try to burn their fields.

For days, settlers have been setting fire to the wheat crop from a new settlement outpost on a mountain overlooking the village.

"We planted these fields with wheat and barley," says farmer Abdul Aziz al-Naasan.

"The settlers burned them yesterday in front of our eyes, of course under the protection of the army."
