The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission said on Friday, August 16, 2024, that the occupation army and settlers set 273 fires targeting Palestinian lands and properties after October 7, 2023.

A clear insistence on restoring and reproducing the behavior of official state terrorism by terrorizing the safe and destroying their properties, with the aim of creating a large-scale process of forced displacement and confining the Palestinian presence to isolated and besieged “cantons”.

The most prominent of these fires were in the West Bank governorates:

Nablus with 120 fires, then Ramallah and Al-Bireh with 42 fires, and Jenin with 26 fires, and they varied between 77 fires that affected citizens’ lands, fields and crops, while 196 fires targeted citizens’ properties, including residential apartments, buildings, vehicles, and others.

In terms of implementation, the raids and attacks of the occupation army caused 56 fires that affected government and private properties, while the joint attacks between the settlers and the army caused 9 fires, while the settlers carried out the largest part of these fires with 208 fires.
