RAMALLAH August 16. 2024 (Saba) - The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission revealed today, Friday, that the enemy army and settlers set 273 fires targeting Palestinian citizens' lands and properties after October 7, 2023.
The head of the commission, Minister Mu'ayyad Shaaban, said according to the Palestinian News Agency that the occupation army and settlers covered up the horrific aggression launched by the occupation state against our people, by carrying out many crimes, the most prominent of which were fires, in 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."
Shaaban explained that after October 7, the army and settlers intentionally caused a total of 273 fires in citizens' properties and fields, the last of which was the fire and attack on the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya.
He added that the most prominent of these fires were in the governorates of Nablus with 120 fires, then Ramallah , Al-Bireh with 42 fires, 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.
He said that the numbers that are being dealt with these days as a result of the attacks of the settler militias after October 7, with the martyrdom of 18 citizens by settler bullets, the injury of more than 785 and the displacement of 26 Bedouin communities, show the powers granted to terrorist groups that receive official support in the form of funding, protection , immunity, and that they can only be viewed as a blatant challenge to international positions and laws that condemn the colonial settlement project and the official institution in the occupying state that sponsors it and feeds on its expansion in the Palestinian land.
Shaaban recalled the tragedies of the burning of the child Muhammad Abu Khudair in 2014 and the burning of the Dawabsheh family in 2015 by settlers, and the extended attempts to carry out more crimes, which continue to demonstrate the fascism of the intellectual complexes on which these groups rely.
He stressed that these groups have not abandoned this mentality and have not stopped trying to burn Palestinians alive in front of the entire world, calling on the international community to assume its responsibilities in ensuring that the sanctions imposed go beyond the barrier of individuals to the groups level , that these sanctions rise to the level of the official , governmental frameworks that sponsor and support the colonial settlement terrorism project in the occupied Palestinian territory.
