Ghassan Douglas, chief of settlement file issue in the Northern West Bank, told the Maan that number of the Israeli “Yitizhar” settlers flamed a mountain for residents from the village of Einabous which led to spread fire to An-Naqarah area in Huwwara which is planted with hundreds of olive trees.
“Dozens of residents are trying to extinguish fire and get it under control while settlers are standing with several dozen meters far from them, but the strength of winds made them unable to get it under control,” Douglas added.
Settlers have been attacking the Palestinians since the Palestinian President's declaration of heading to the UN to ask for a full membership and independent state.

Tears of Gaza

Documentary of Israel's "Cast Lead" assault on Gaza of Dec. 27, 2008 to Jan. 18, 2009. During this time Israeli forces killed approximately 1,400 Palestinians and Palestinians killed 9 Israelis (four more died in friendly fire). While most American reports claimed that Hamas initiated the violence, in reality Israel was the first to break the ceasefire. CNN was the only major US broadcaster to report this correctly when Rick Sanchez investigated the chronology and reported that CNN had erred in its earlier coverage.
