Jewish settlers set fire to hundreds of Palestinian-owned olive trees in the West Bank city of Nablus, witnesses said Friday.

The attack took place as Palestinians were performing Friday prayers under the protection of the Israeli army, the witnesses said.

Ghassan Daghlas, an anti-settlement activist, said the fire has eaten up a large part of olive farms near a Jewish settlement.

Palestinian land-owners near Israeli settlements in the West Bank have repeatedly clashed with Jewish settlers who attempt to grab the lands for their settlement construction.

Meanwhile, clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers erupted on Friday during anti-settlement protests, the witnesses said.

Some Palestinians, backed by Israeli and international peace activists, rallied to protest in several villages against Israel's security fence which cut through their farms.

According the witnesses, the Israeli troops fired tear gas to disperse the protestors which injured dozens.
