At six in the morning of June 2nd, 2010, Israeli settlers from the settlement of Yizhar set fire to hundreds of acres of Palestinian agricultural land south of Nablus between the villages of Asira and Urif. Palestinians from Asira tried to hold back the settlers with stones but the arrival of the Israeli Occupation Forces allowed the settlers to continue and destroy the agricultural land on the Mount of Suleiman.
