Palestinian media reports that settlers have attempted to set fire to a mosque and torched a vehicle in the village of Aqraba in the northern West Bank.
There are no casualties.
Footage shows the vehicle being set on fire, signs of arson at the entrance to the mosque, and Hebrew graffiti sprayed on the mosque’s outer walls reading, “The nation of Israel lives,” and “Jewish blood is not worthless.”
The police have not yet issued a response.
