Israeli Settlers Burn Mosque in West Bank, Spray Racist Graffiti on Walls
Share:
Israeli settlers set fire to a mosque in the occupied West Bank and sprayed racist slogans on its walls. Israeli police condemned the incident and launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators. The attack represents the latest in a series of incidents involving Israeli settlers in the West Bank, territory that Israel has occupied since the 1967 Six-Day War and where approximately 500,000 Israeli settlers live in communities considered illegal under international law. Such attacks on Palestinian religious sites have been a recurring source of tension in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
