Israeli occupiers set fire to two houses and a mosque and injured four Palestinians in a series of attacks in the occupied West Bank on Sunday. The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs said in a statement that Israeli occupiers set fire to a mosque in the town of Tuwana in Masafer Yatta in Hebron, causing extensive damage to the facility. The ministry, citing local sources, said the occupiers stormed the village and used flammable materials to set the mosque ablaze before residents and civil defence teams rushed to extinguish the flames. According to the ministry, clashes broke out during the firefighting efforts with Israeli army forces, who were providing protection for the occupiers. The ministry called the mosque attack "a fully-fledged act of terrorism," saying it was part of an Israeli policy aimed at displacing Palestinians from Masafer Yatta.
