The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission documented 900 fires targeting Palestinian homes, vehicles, and facilities across the West Bank since early 2023 through July 10, 2026, Shehab Wire reported. The incidents destroyed or damaged Palestinian-owned property throughout the three-year period. The commission released an analytical paper detailing the attacks.
Palestinian officials have linked such fires to what they characterize as coordinated arson by Israeli settlers. The documentation effort represents an attempt to establish a comprehensive record of property damage across the occupied territory during a period marked by escalating tensions and military operations.
