Jerusalem: Israeli settlers on Thursday torched seven cars in the northern West Bank village of Qusra, Palestinian security sources alleged.

They said that attackers set fire to the vehicles in the early hours and residents of the village, near the city of Nablus, saw them driving to the nearby settlement outpost of Esh Kodesh.

The two sides are in dispute over farmland between the village and the outpost which is claimed by both.

Villagers last month accused the settlers of damaging around 200 olive trees following clashes between Qusra and Esh Kodesh residents, during which Palestinians threw stones at the settlers who according to Palestinian officials responded with gunfire and wounded an 18-year-old.
