Israeli settlers on Wednesday evening torched Palestinian-owned farmlands and stabbed a Palestinian in the town of Duma, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources, reports WAFA.

Israeli settlers descended upon the town and set fire to olive groves, which had been providing Palestinian farmers and their families with their livelihood and sustenance, in the western part of the town.

The assailants attacked a 27-year-old resident, stabbing him in the back.

The casualty was rushed to a nearby medical center for urgent treatment. There was no immediate information about his medical condition.
