The assailants attacked the school approximately at 10:30 in the morning, when they started throwing stones, before invading it and damaging the small canteen in the school, while the Palestinian children as seen trying to escape the assault.
Shortly after attacking the school, the colonists invaded nearby Palestinian lands, and set them ablaze.
The fire spread fast before the Palestinian firefighters rushed to the area, and started extinguishing it.
Resident Malek Mahmoud Fawzi, who is one of the family members who own the orchards, said the trees were planted 65 years ago, and that the area contained around 1500 trees; nearly500 of them were burnt.
He added that he filed a complaint with the District Coordination Office, but the Israeli army or police did not even come to the area to inspect the damage, and stated that this is the second time the colonists burn his trees.
