Israeli Settlers Caught Lighting Fires As Argentina’s Patagonia Burns
On December 9, 2025, Argentina’s President Javier Milei announced a policy allowing foreigners to buy land and develop it following wildfire damage. At the time, the move sparked little attention outside political circles.
Exactly one month later, Patagonia erupted in flames. Prosecutors have since confirmed that several of the fires were deliberate, citing the use of accelerants and, in some areas, Israeli military-grade explosives.
Israeli Settlers Linked to Illegal Campfires
As investigations unfolded, incidents involving Israeli settlers came to light. In Los Glaciares National Park, a protected area known for its forests and natural resources, a local resident reportedly caught two Israeli settlers lighting a campfire in a strictly prohibited zone during peak summer. The resident confronted them, the fire was extinguished, and authorities were notified. The Israelis fled before they could be arrested.
Officials are reviewing photos, videos, and accommodation records, but no charges or convictions have been made so far.
Explosives Found in Chubut
Adding to the concerns, authorities in Chubut province reported discovering M26 IM grenades, a type of military-grade explosive linked to the Israeli Occupation military, scattered near Lake Epuyén. The presence of such explosives has intensified fears about the origins and coordination of the fires.
Local Outrage and Calls for Deportation
Communities across Patagonia are furious. The deliberate fires, foreign involvement, and discovery of explosives have led locals to take to the streets, demanding deportations and accountability for those suspected of setting fires in sensitive areas. Environmental groups have also voiced concern about the long-term impact on Patagonia’s forests and wildlife.

Investigations Ongoing
At this stage, no one has been arrested or convicted, and investigations remain active. Authorities are continuing to review all available evidence to determine who is responsible for the fires.
While the situation remains fluid, the combination of intentional arson, foreign involvement, and military-grade explosives has made Patagonia’s wildfires one of the most alarming environmental and security crises in Argentina in recent years.
