Israeli settlers firebomb mosque in West Bank
Attacks by ultranationalist Jewish settlers in the West Bank have occurred this year amid Israel's planned — but so far unsuccessful — attempts to annex parts of the Palestinian territory.
A group of Israeli settlers firebombed a mosque in the West Bank early this morning, according to multiple reports.
Settlers attacked the mosque in el-Bireh near the Palestinian capital Ramallah shortly after midnight on Monday, the Associated Press reported, citing a Palestinian Authority official. The attackers spray-painted anti-Palestinian slogans and threw firebombs that burned part of the mosque, according to the outlet.
