Israeli settlers attacked two mosques in the village of Qusra and the area of Kour in the occupied West Bank early on Sunday, July 26. According to Palestinian officials, the attackers set one mosque on fire and sprayed Hebrew slogans on its walls. They also attempted to set a second mosque ablaze, but local residents managed to extinguish the fire before it spread.
The attack came two days after a deadly confrontation near the village of Tel, southwest of Nablus, in which four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers, including a local security coordinator, were killed.
The Israeli military condemned the attack, stating that its forces found evidence of arson and graffiti at the scene and that an investigation has been launched to identify and apprehend those responsible.
The incident occurred amid rising violence and an increase in attacks by Israeli settlers across the occupied West Bank in recent months, raising widespread concern across the region and the international community.
