Israeli forces and settlers carry out over 1,180 arson attacks throughout the West Bank in three years.

Israeli forces and settlers carried out 1,182 arson attacks against Palestinian land and property throughout the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, between October 7, 2023 and September 30, 2026, according to official data published today.

The Committee on Colonization and Resistance to the Walls reported that 809 of the incidents targeted private property, vehicles and facilities, while 373 directly affected agricultural land. The center of Ramallah and al-Bira along with the north of Nablus accounted for 711 terrorist attacks - accounting for 60.2 percent of the total figure.

The revelation came following an attack early Wednesday in which Israeli settlers set fire to more than 100 vehicles in a rescue lot in the village of Alloban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus.

The resulting fires spread to dozens of olive trees, warehouses and local electrical infrastructure, caused extensive smoke inhalation and left initial damages estimated at over one million shekels.

The committee emphasized that the IDF bears direct responsibility for the attacks, both through direct participation and by shielding operations while blocking emergency teams and residents from reaching the affected areas.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, in October alone there were 457 settler attacks in the West Bank, marking the highest monthly total recorded since monitoring began in 2006.
