NABLUS, (PIC)-- Jewish settlers on Wednesday burnt more than 25 dunums of Palestinian lands in Burqa village near the evacuated settlement of Homesh to the west of Nablus city on Wednesday, locals reported.

They said that the lands owned by five Palestinians were planted with olive trees.

The sources noted that the settlers have escalated their assaults on Palestinian farms this summer in the hope of annexing those lands after their owners desert them.

Also on Wednesday, Israeli police rounded up 81 Palestinian workers in the lands occupied in 1948 for "illegal" residence.

The Israeli police routinely arrest hundreds of those workers for not possessing necessary work permits. Many of them are imprisoned, fined and humiliated before the IOF return them to the West Bank.

Human rights organizations reported that some of those laborers are asked to work for the Israeli intelligence in return for granting them work permits.

Five Palestinians were detained in northern West Bank at the hands of Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday while two others were arrested in Qalqilia in the afternoon for throwing stones at settlers' vehicles.

IOF soldiers kidnapped two Palestinian teenagers in the village of Ya'bad, Jenin district, at a late hour on Wednesday.
