Title

@Zencäble: The term "Incendiary incidents" does not appear to be a recognizable description for these events, as the first thing a Google search returns is a TV episode title. Is the term you are really looking for "Incendiary fires", Firebombing, or even "Arson? (See Do You Know The Difference Between Arson And An Incendiary Fire? (January 20, 2016) ARCCA)

The Wikipedia article about Firebombing explains that "... act[s] in which an incendiary device is used to initiate a fire is often described as a "firebombing"." and also indicate the non-military use is almost always an Arson. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 18:07, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I am not an native speaker and I was not shure, what would be an appropriate expression to the cases. "Arson" oder "Firebombing" are maybe better. Most of the cases are firebombs in packages, but also in Poland and the Baltic arsons. Please change the lemma to an better fitting one. --Zencäble (talk) 08:05, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
