Jerusalem (EFE).- From burning two mosques in occupied West Bank villages to forcing Palestinian women to give birth in ambulances due to military roadblocks, the terror instilled by Israeli settlers continues to escalate, while the Israeli military vows to ramp up its offensive in the area.
The situation in the West Bank finally reached a boiling point on Friday following an armed clash in the north of the region, in the village of Tell (Nablus Governorate), in which four Palestinian civilians, a settler authorized to carry weapons and an Israeli soldier were killed.
Since then, the Israel Defense Forces has moved in with overwhelming force and «settler militias,» a term used by as many as 20 Israeli NGOs, have taken advantage of the situation to enter Palestinian villages, assault residents and set fire to their homes and belongings.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, groups of Jewish radicals set fire to two mosques, one in Qusra, south of Nablus, and another in Kur, south of Tulkarem, both in the northern West Bank.
