Israeli settlers set fire to West Bank mosques after deadly clash
Palestinian officials said the attacks caused extensive damage and came after a deadly clash that killed four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers.
On Sunday, July 26, 2026, Israeli settlers set fire to the Al-Rahma mosque in Qusra, south of Nablus, causing extensive damage to the entrance and ablution area.
The arson followed a Friday incursion near Tal that killed four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers, escalating tensions in the West Bank.
Farid Jiyousi, a Qusra village council member, said settlers sprayed graffiti in Hebrew including 'Jewish revenge' before residents extinguished the fire at dawn.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered troop reinforcements in the area, while military police began collecting evidence and searching for suspects.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other right-wing politicians have called for accelerated West Bank takeovers, as Netanyahu faces an October election amid rising settler clashes.
