It appears the enemy was responsible for the fire, however, the truth of the matter is, that it is a desirable goal to remove the trees etc. from the Temple Mount.

Rashi to Dvarim/Deuteronomy 16:21 (translation from Sefaria.org)
THOU SHALT NOT PLANT THEE AN ASHERA, ANY TREE NEAR UNTO THE ALTAR OF THE LORD THY GOD — This is a prohibition addressed to one who would plant a tree or build a house on the Temple mount (הר הבית) (Sifrei Devarim 145:1).
