Palestinians say Israeli settlers torch 2 mosques in West Bank

Qusra, Palestinian Territories

Israeli army vehicles block a road during a raid in Nablus, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on July 26, 2026.

Palestinian officials said Israeli settlers set fire to two mosques in the occupied West Bank overnight July 26, after this week's deadly clashes in the territory left six people dead.

Violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has surged since the Gaza war began with Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
