Israeli settlers set fire to a mosque in the Palestinian town of Deir Istiya, damaging a wall, several copies of the Qur'an, and carpeting. Hateful messages were scrawled on the building, referencing recent condemnations by Israeli military leaders. This attack follows a surge in settler violence across the West Bank, including recent assaults on Palestinian villages and property. Top Israeli officials, including the president and army chief, have publicly denounced the violence, calling for decisive action to stop these attacks. Despite these statements, Palestinians and human rights groups continue to accuse Israeli authorities of failing to prevent settler aggression.
