Mosques and civilians targeted in separate attacks
Earlier on Sunday, illegal İsraeli settlers set fire to two mosques in separate attacks across the occupied West Bank, targeting one in the village of Kur, south of Tulkarem, and another under construction in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, according to Palestinian officials.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said illegal settlers stormed the village of Kur and set fire to the mosque, causing partial damage to the building and its interior.
On Friday, illegal settlers backed by the Israeli army attacked the Palestinian town of Tell near Nablus, killing four Palestinians. Two Israelis were also killed in a shooting during the confrontation, according to Palestinian and Israeli sources.
Israeli forces subsequently imposed a siege on Nablus and surrounding towns, carried out mass arrest raids and announced preparations for a wide-scale “military operation” across the occupied West Bank.
Since October 2023, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,182 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, injured thousands and detained around 24,000, according to official Palestinian figures.
