Israeli Settlers Set Fire to Mosque
Anti-Arab graffiti written in Hebrew was also at the scene
Jerusalem24 – Israeli settlers this morning set fire to parts of a mosque in the village of Zeita, South of Nablus.
The head of the Zeita Village Council, Zaid Ramadan, stated that settlers infiltrated the village center in the early morning hours and set fires at the entrance to the Ebad Al-Rahman Mosque.
The settlers used flammable petroleum products and old shoes placed near the mosque entrance to start the fire which burned part of the carpet.
Ramadan says that “the worshippers were surprised when they went to the dawn prayers when the fire broke out at the entrance to the mosque, and they had rushed to put it out and prevent its spread.”
The settlers also wrote threatening graffiti in Hebrew on the wall of a house next to the mosque.
