In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers on Friday set fire to a mosque in the village of Marda, spray-painting “revenge” and “death to Arabs” in Hebrew on the Muslim holy site. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the attack, calling on the U.N. to launch an investigation. This is Nasfat al-Khufash, head of the Marda village council.

Nasfat al-Khufash: “Today, on Friday, Marda woke up to a systemic terror attack by a group of settlers who set fire to Bir al-Walideen mosque. A number of settlers set fire and attempted an attack on a wider scale on the mosque, as you see the aftermath of this, along with writing racial slurs such as 'death to Arabs' and that they will burn this mosque to build a synagogue. These attacks are continuous and systematic by settler groups.”

The attack on the mosque came as at least six Palestinians were killed across the West Bank, including an 80-year-old woman who was shot in the chest by Israeli forces during a raid in the Balata refugee camp, near Nablus, Thursday. In Tulkarm, at least four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a vehicle.
