The Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission has documented roughly 900 arson attacks targeting Palestinian homes, facilities, vehicles and other property across the West Bank from early 2023 through July 10, 2026, Shehab Wire reported. The commission said Israeli settlers were responsible for the fires.
The three-year span has seen a sustained pattern of incendiary attacks on Palestinian-owned structures and belongings throughout the territory. The documented incidents include homes destroyed, agricultural land burned, and vehicles set ablaze. Palestinian officials contend the fires represent a coordinated effort by settlers to displace Palestinians and seize control of land in the occupied West Bank.
