Hussein stated that his orchard is only a few meters away from an Israeli military camp used for military training, and is close to Alon Moreh settlement which was constructed on lands illegally annexed from residents of the village in 1980. He added that firefighters of Nablus Firefighters Department were called to the scene but the army barred them from reaching the orchard after claiming that the area is a closed military zone. The firefighters were allowed into the area one hour later but by that time 130 olive trees were already burnt. It is worth mentioning that olive harvest season starts approximately in two months. |
