On the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, pro-Palestinian Danish activists set fire to several Danish cities as a show of support for the Palestinian people.

Throughout history, the nation has used bonfires to convey important messages. The Danish people had a long-standing tradition of lighting fires to alert neighbouring cities to impending danger and request assistance. This custom dates back to ancient times.

It was last employed in this sense on Jutland during the Slave War in 1848.
