PNN – Zionist settlers set fire to parts of a mosque located in the town of Tal in the northern occupied West Bank and wrote offensive phrases on its walls.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, according to eyewitnesses, Zionist settlers entered the town of Tal, west of Nablus, this morning and set fire to parts of the mosque, damaging the mosque’s entrance and exterior.
The sources stated that the settlers wrote slogans in Hebrew on the outer walls of the mosque.
They added that no one was injured in the attack.
A resident of Tal town said: When we arrived in the morning, we were surprised to see the effects of the fire, but thank God the fire had been extinguished and had only spread to parts of the mosque. We also saw that slogans and insulting sentences had been written on the walls of the mosque.
According to Turkey’s Anatoli Agency, one of these phrases was the name of a right-wing group that was formed in July 2008 with the aim of controlling the occupied territories, harassing Palestinians, and preventing their resistance to the occupation regime, especially in the occupied settlements of the West Bank and Jerusalem.
According to this eyewitness, images from the mosque’s CCTV cameras show that two masked individuals entered the mosque this morning carrying a substance resembling gasoline, set it on fire within minutes, and immediately fled towards one of the surrounding towns.
According to the Committee to Resist the Wall and Settlements, last January, Israeli settlers carried out 468 attacks on the West Bank, including physical violence, uprooting trees, burning agricultural land, preventing farmers from accessing their land, and seizing people’s property.
Since the start of the war against the Gaza Strip in October 2023, attacks by the occupiers and Zionist settlers on the West Bank have continued, including crimes such as murder, detention, displacement, and settlement expansion with the aim of imposing conditions.
The result of these attacks was the martyrdom of at least 1,117 Palestinians, the injury of about 11,500 others, and the arrest of about 22,000 Palestinians in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.
