Security camera footage from a mosque Urif shows a masked suspect tearing pages from a book as settlers rampaged through the Palestinian town yesterday.

In the video, the man — who is accompanied by a leash dog — can be seen ripping pages out of what Channel 12 news and several other Hebrew media reports said was a Quran and throwing them on the ground, as other masked suspects look on.

No suspects have been arrested over the incident or for the rioting in other Palestinian towns since Tuesday’s terror shooting in the area left four Israelis dead. Both attackers came from Urif.
