<p>OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; Jewish settlers set fire Monday to the tent of an old Palestinian woman whose property they usurped in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah district.</p>
<p>The woman Rifqa al-Kurd was camping out there to protest the fact that the Jews who settled there had acquired the land illegally from her family’s assets.</p>
<p>Kurd said her son woke up when he heard rapid sounds on the property at 2:30am and found that fire had been ignited on the tent they were using to sit in.</p>
<p>She added that all of the tent’s contents as well as a camera she set up on the outside had been burned.</p>
<p>She went on to say that youths rushed to call emergency services, which managed to extinguish the flames.</p>
<p>The settlers who occupied part of her property had cut power from the neighborhood and damaged the camera before the arson, said Kurd.</p>
<p>Locals said the number of attacks on the Kurds as well as other Palestinian families whose property was usurped by force of arms have seen a sharp rise recently. They said the settlers seek to rid the entire region of its Palestinian population with sights set on establishing a massive settler community and completely Judaizing the area.</p>
<p>Also on Monday, Jewish settlers set fire to two cars owned by Palestinians, inflicted significant damage on the contents of a home, and uprooted dozens of grapevines in a number of separate attacks that took place on Monday morning against Palestinian localities near Jewish settlements in the West Bank.</p>
<p>Sources said that settlers armed with machine guns and clubs attacked the home of a Palestinian resident of the West Bank village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus, early Monday morning and burnt two cars after raiding the residence, causing damage and assaulting residents.</p>
<p>In Halhul, just north of Al-Khalil in southern West Bank, Israeli settlers uprooted some 176 four-year-old grapevines in a terror attack on a Palestinian farm.</p>
