RAMALLAH: Israeli prosecutors filed charges against six people, including for “acts of terrorism”, after a settler attack on a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank that included the torching of a mosque, police said.
Palestinians frequently complain that violent acts by settlers in the occupied West Bank often go unpunished.
Indictments have become more commonplace along with the rising frequency of settler attacks, but rights groups say this has not led to greater safety for Palestinians.
“Six indictments were filed for acts of terrorism, arson, sabotage, and violent rioting in the village of Deir Dibwan out of a nationalistic motive,” police said in a statement, referring to a village in the central West Bank.
