“Israeli [squatters] torched and defaced a mosque in a Palestinian village in the central West Bank overnight, scribbling hateful messages in a show of defiance a day after some Israeli leaders condemned a recent attack by [squatters] against Palestinians. One wall and at least three copies of the Quran and some of the carpeting at the mosque in the Palestinian town of Deir Istiya had been torched when an AP reporter visited Thursday. … Soldiers from Israel’s military, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, were present at the scene.” (111/13/25)
