International law strictly prohibits the wanton and extensive destruction of property in occupied or colonized territories, categorizing such acts as war crimes under key treaties and customary international law. Arson, as a deliberate form of property destruction, falls under these prohibitions.
Arson and destruction of property by colonists in occupied territories are classified as a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. This includes prohibitions against the destruction of private property (Article 53) and pillaging (Article 147). Additionally, the destruction of property is prohibited unless it is absolutely necessary for military operations. The latter is not the issue in the West Bank, as arson is by colonizing terrorists.
