On Sunday, Israeli settlers torched vehicles and attempted to set fire to a mosque in the West Bank, prompting The Israeli military to deploy troops to quell riots described as violent acts by "Israeli civilians."
In the village of Burqa, settlers set fire to a car and broke down a mosque door, setting its entrance alight before fleeing, according to Wafa. In nearby Deir Dibwan, settlers torched two vehicles, the Palestinian news agency reported.
Security forces were dispatched to the Binyamin Brigade area to disperse riots and extinguish fires, the military said. The military stated forces "strongly condemn all acts of violence."
Days before these attacks, the United Nations warned settler violence in the West Bank had reached record levels, averaging six attacks daily. More than 2,200 Palestinians have been displaced this year due to such violence.
