Israeli occupiers set fire to two mosques in separate attacks across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, targeting a mosque in the village of Kur, south of Tulkarem, and another one under construction in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, according to Palestinian officials, Anadolu reports.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said Israeli occupiers stormed the village of Kur and set fire to a mosque, causing partial damage to the building and its interior.
The attackers also spray-painted racist graffiti on the mosque’s walls before leaving the area, while local residents managed to extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading.
WAFA said the attack in Kur came just hours after Israeli occupiers set fire to Al-Rahma Mosque, which was under construction in Qusra.
Abdel Azim Wadi, the mayor of Qusra, said the attack burned wooden materials and construction equipment at the site.
