Israeli settlers set fire to a mosque, two houses and a dairy factory in the Palestinian village of Al-Tuwani, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, early on Sunday, according to Palestinian officials. No casualties were reported, but the dairy factory sustained extensive damage.

Mohammed Rabie, head of the Al-Tuwani village council, told news agencies that more than twenty settlers, some masked, entered the village after midnight, using accelerants to ignite the buildings and spraying Hebrew graffiti on the mosque walls. Local volunteers extinguished the flames before they spread. An AFP journalist saw the mosque’s entrance blackened and its windows shattered. Israeli police said they responded to a report of suspects causing damage, including a car fire, damage to the door of a prayer structure, and graffiti. An investigation is under way, and police are examining a possible connection to a fire that broke out at the nearby Gilad Farm that same weekend.

Accounts diverged on the security response. Palestinian activist Osama Makhamra said the attack unfolded “in full view of the Israeli army,” noting a military watchtower near the mosque. Rabie said Israeli army, police and fire services reached the scene about half an hour after the attack. The Palestinian religious affairs ministry condemned the burning of the mosque as a “full-fledged terrorist act,” and accused Israel’s government of encouraging settler violence to displace Palestinians.

The assault was the most prominent in a day of widespread settler aggression across the West Bank. In Nablus, four Palestinians were injured when settlers attacked the Zahra area of Beita, local sources said. Settlers also set fire to Palestinian land near Sinjil and cut electricity to a family in Jalud. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, settler violence in the West Bank has reached “unprecedented” levels, averaging six attacks per day causing casualties or property damage, and has displaced more than 2,200 Palestinians this year.
