Rightists say Palestinian field fires 'price tag on outpost evacuation'

Palestinian fields were torched in a number of areas in the West Bank near Yitzhar and Hawara. An olive tree orchard was also set on fire. Firefighters subdued the flames, and police have begun investigation the incidents, but no suspects have been arrested. Palestinians say settlers are responsible for the fires.

In response to the fires, right-wing activists said, "This is part of the price tag on outpost evacuation." (Efrat Weiss)
