According to a report published by the JSR Situation Room, Arab social media accounts circulated claims alleging that Jews had set fire to tents and property belonging to a Bedouin community in Deir Qaddis, located west of Ramallah. The online claims characterized the alleged arson as part of an "escalation in settler attacks."
However, the JSR Situation Room stated that the blaze was actually set by members of the Bedouin community themselves. According to the report, Bedouins who had departed the encampment near the Jewish community of Natuf, which is currently under construction in the western Binyamin Region, ignited the property that remained at the site.
Following the fire, those responsible blamed local Israeli residents for the arson, according to the JSR Situation Room. The monitoring desk noted that the accusations against Jewish residents were manufactured after the departing individuals torched their own remaining structures.
