“Wall, Settlement Resistance Commission”: Settlers Set 799 Fires in West Bank from Beginning of 2023 Until July

The Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission documented 900 fires set by the Israeli enemy on Palestinian citizens’ properties, homes, vehicles, and facilities, from the beginning of 2023 until July 10 of this year. Of these, 799 fires were set by settlers, accounting for 88.8 percent, and 101 fires were set by the enemy army, accounting for 11.2 percent.

The Palestinian news agency “Wafa” reported today, Friday, that this came in a paper in which the Commission presented an analytical reading of settler fires, as they have become one of the most prominent terrorist tools used against Palestinian citizens.

The paper’s data revealed an escalation in numbers, rising from 217 fires in 2023 to 264 in 2024, then to 307 in 2025, while 112 fires were recorded during 2026 up to July 10.

A total of 552 fires were concentrated in the governorates of Nablus and Ramallah and Al-Bireh alone, accounting for 61.3 percent of the total fires, reflecting an organized and recurring pattern targeting the security of Palestinian citizens, their property, and their means of survival.
