Israeli settlers vandalized a mosque in the Israeli-occupied West Bank early Monday, spray-painting offensive phrases and setting a fire, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Worshippers arriving for the day’s first prayers found the damage and a smoldering fire that spewed black smoke across the entrance of the Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque in the town of Tell, near Nablus, and stained the ornate doorway.
Security camera footage showed two people walking toward the mosque carrying gasoline and a can of spray paint, and running away a few minutes later …
The ministry said settlers vandalized or attacked 45 mosques in the #WestBank last year.
