“Israeli” Settlers Torch Mosque in Occupied West Bank

Local Editor

"Israeli" settlers have set fire to a mosque near the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, reported sources. Settlers damaged the mosque located in Qusra village some 15 kilometers southeast of Nablus, when they threw burning tires inside it early on Monday.

Settlers also broke several of the mosque's windows and threw rocks at Palestinian vehicles. The Palestinian Authority denounced the attack, saying that the Monday's incident is not the first attack carried out by settlers against mosques in the West Bank.

The incident came after hundreds of "Israeli" police and soldiers dismantled three homes in the settlement of Migron. Around 200 settlers tried to stop the bulldozers not to dismantle the buildings.
