Israeli Settlers Set Fire to West Bank Mosques Following Deadly Clash
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villages in the West Bank early Sunday, setting fire to two mosques and defacing buildings with graffiti, Palestinian officials reported. The attacks followed a deadly clash on Friday near the village of Tal, where four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers were killed during a confrontation involving armed settlers. The Israeli military said shots were fired by both sides and is investigating. The violence is part of ongoing tensions in the region, with Prime Minister Netanyahu ordering increased security measures ahead of upcoming elections.
