Palestinians say Israeli settlers set fire to a wedding hall in the central West Bank village of Bidya overnight.

Footage from the scene shows a blaze raging through the building.

Pictures also show graffiti sprayed on walls in the town, reading “Revenge,” “Death to Arabs,” and “Fight the enemy, not the friend.”

No injuries are reported in the incident.

An Israeli report says police have opened an investigation, but there is no immediate confirmation from Israeli authorities.
