Inferno terror. Forest fire as a new form of terrorism

Abstract

Between 18 and 26 November 2016, 220 different locations in the Israeli forest inflamed. Due to the extremely dry and windy periods, originally everyone blamed the extreme weather, but it soon became clear that in several cases arson took place in Israel in which Arab-born Israeli citizens or people from the territory of the Palestinian Authority set fire to the easily inflammable forests with petrol. We also have to raise awareness of this issue, since Al-Qaeda released its Inspire magazine in 2012, where it elaborates on how the forest fires could be used for terrorist attacks against the United States.
