RAMALLAH (Ma’an) -- A Ramallah-area mosque was torched overnight and its remains graffitied with racist anti-Arab slogans; witnesses said Israeli settlers were seen setting the fire at 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
Al-Mughayyir's village council said the building was nearly destroyed, and its contents incinerated, drawing condemnation of the third mosque torching in three years.
Eyewitnesses told Ma’an that a group of Israeli settlers arrived in the village before dawn, and shortly after they saw flames rising into the sky.
The vandals spray painted "Alei Ayin" on the walls, which is the name of a nearby settlement outpost demolished by Israeli police last week, sparking fierce clashes with the settlers. more
