This article reminds me of something I read back in the late 1960s.

In the 1920s and 1930s, when Arabs were attacking Jewish owned farms in British-controlled Palestine, it wasn’t unusual for the Arabs, after killing all the farm’s inhabitants, to destroy the fruit orchards as well.

it wasn’t unusual for the Arabs, after killing all the farm’s inhabitants, to destroy the fruit orchards as well.

This is just standard non-Western campaign-by-devastation against the enemy. It is notable that Hebrews were among the first to repudiate this (the Bible specifically prohibits the devastation of enemy orchards), but not surprising that the Arabs would continue to do this. Once a band of terrorists has killed one settler family, one can be confident they will take steps to discourage any others, including wrecking the work of the first family.

I don't know about killing all the inhabitants, but they did destroy fruit trees. Settlers and the IDF destroy their olive trees. Is that also the same thing?
