Until recently Israeli settlers were content just to steal Palestinian land and get involved in the odd shooting or beating of Palestinians on a very sporadic basis. What worries me is the following excerpt:
"The closest settlement to Burin is Yitzhar, where a settler was arrested this month for allegedly trying to launch a homemade rocket at Burin.
Yitzhar is a known hotbed of ultranationalist Israelis who believe that the West Bank is part of the biblical land of Israel promised to the Jewish people by God. They oppose any concessions to the Palestinians."

Is this a new wave of violence about to engulf Palestine? Israelis making home-made rockets? Are things stepping up a notch?
