"Forest Jihad:" Arabs have been setting Jewish forests and fields on fire for at least a century

From Times of Israel:

Fire authorities increasingly believe several large wildfires that broke out on the outskirts of Jerusalem and in the West Bank were deliberate acts of arson, likely set by Palestinians, Hebrew media reported on Wednesday night.

Blazes that broke out in forested areas west of Jerusalem during the afternoon prompted the Israel Fire and Rescue Services to evacuate dozens of residents in the area.

Later in the afternoon, several more fires were ignited in the northern West Bank, including large blazes near the settlements of Ariel and Shavei Shomron.

Arabs have been setting fires to Jewish fields and forests for as long as Jews have been in the land.

From the Palestine Post, May 22, 1936:

I've documented many other 1936 arson attacks by Arabs, and there were incidents in the 1920s as well. They continued into the 1980s and 1990s.
