Palestinian officials said Israeli settlers set fire to two mosques in the occupied West Bank overnight on Sunday.
Violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has surged since the Israeli assault on Gaza began in October 2023.
Abdel Azim Wadi, mayor of the town of Qusra, south of the city of Nablus, told AFP that settlers torched a mosque under construction in the southern part of the town.
“The fire destroyed the mosque’s entrance and even damaged its stonework,” Wadi said.
