Reports: Mosque torched in the West Bank

Israeli settlers are suspected of setting fire to a mosque in a village in the occupied West Bank, according to reports by Israeli and Palestinian media. The perpetrators reportedly left graffiti in Hebrew, including a slogan directed at U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who has previously referred to Israeli attackers as 'terrorists.' Israeli forces confirmed sending soldiers to the area after the attack but stated the suspects had already fled. Palestinian media report over ten such attacks on mosques in the West Bank this year. Israeli military authorities condemned the vandalism against religious sites. Recent years have seen increased violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank, with criticism that security forces are not sufficiently addressing these incidents.
