Israeli Settlers Set Fire to Mosque in Occupied West Bank
Israeli settlers set fire to Al-Rahma Mosque in Qusra, near Nablus, on Sunday morning, as Israeli forces arrested dozens of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.
The attack comes after a shooting in Tal on Friday that killed four Palestinians and two Israelis. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a military crackdown.
Israeli forces raided several Palestinian neighborhoods in the West Bank, arresting dozens of people. The Israeli military also sealed off several roads leading into and out of the city of Nablus.
The Al-Rahma Mosque is a major religious site for Palestinians in the Qusra area. The fire caused significant damage to the mosque and its surrounding grounds.
This is the latest in a series of escalating tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. Tensions have been particularly high in the West Bank since the Israeli military raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem earlier this month.
