There were no casualties, but there was a significant property damage in local orchards.

According to Kfar Etzion head of security Ephraim Somech, “Kfar Etzion suffers from countless arson attacks throughout the year. Even during cherry picking. I hope and believe that the army will put its emphasis on catching the arsonists.”
