Israeli settlers today cut wooden electric poles using chainsaws in Burin town, south of Nablus city, according to a local activist.

Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors colonial settlement activities in the northern West Bank, confirmed that a group of settlers used chainsaws to chop down six wooden electric poles supplying electricity to a house located on the outskirts of the town, causing power blackout in the area.

The targeted house is separated from the town by the nearby settler-only bypass road, which runs to the illegal colonial settlement of Yitzhar, inhabited by hardcore fanatic Jews.
