(Ynet News) Yair Altman - Six foreign nationals and Palestinians who set fires near the West Bank settlement of Bat Ayin in the Gush Etzion bloc on Sunday were taken in for questioning by the police. "This is a known Palestinian method to take over state land," said Dov Mark, land supervisor for the Gush Etzion Council. "With the support of anarchists, who usually come from abroad, they come to an area of natural woodland which has never been cultivated, burn it on purpose and at the same time plant trees....In today's case, some 20 acres of natural woodland were burned by a group of 25 Palestinians and anarchists."
