Settlers torched agricultural lands on the outskirts of the central West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir late Monday night, Palestinian media reported, in the latest in a string of seemingly unhindered attacks on Palestinians.

The Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news site said that the IDF arrived at the scene after the fire broke out and prevented residents from approaching the area to try and put it out, firing live rounds toward those who disobeyed.

Palestinian media also reported that settlers prevented ambulances and fire trucks from reaching the scene.

There was no immediate comment from the IDF.

Extremist settlers, sometimes in mobs, have been recorded on a near-daily basis carrying out a variety of violent attacks, including assaulting Palestinians, torching cars, and damaging property.

In another incident, settlers reportedly threw rocks at a truck near the West Bank village of Attara, near Ramallah, causing the Palestinian driver to swerve off the road and crash into a pole. It was unclear if the driver was injured.
