Palestinian media reported on 14 September 2026 that Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian agricultural land at Deir Ballut, in the Salfit governorate of the West Bank. The extent of the burned area was not published, and the Israeli military has not published an account of the incident.
Why it matters
Arson against farmland is the quieter half of the settler-violence pattern: it removes livelihood rather than producing casualties, so it rarely generates a figure anyone can check.
