Reports from the West Bank describe a series of attacks by Israeli settlers on Friday, with mosques set on fire in the villages of Kur and Qusra, along with damage to cars and farmland. Israeli forces also carried out raids in the area, according to Palestinian sources.
Both Middle East Eye and BBC News report that settlers set fire to parts of a mosque in Kur, spraying racist slogans, and targeted another mosque under construction in Qusra. The reports agree that the attacks followed a deadly clash near the village of Tell two days earlier, which left four Palestinians and two Israelis dead, as stated by BBC.
However, the outlets differ in emphasis. Middle East Eye provides a broader account of Israeli actions, including a 'major raid' in Rafidia, the detention of 16 Palestinians, the establishment of a new illegal outpost in Deir Istiya, and the demolition of a home in Jenin. It also notes that nine people were arrested at a Tel Aviv protest against settler violence. BBC focuses narrowly on the mosque arson and the prior clash, without mentioning the raid or detentions.
Only Middle East Eye describes the attacks as part of a 'systematic campaign' by the Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, framing them as a broader violation of Palestinian rights.
