JERUSALEM -- Suspected Israeli extremists have torched a
Palestinian mosque in the West Bank and left Hebrew graffiti at the
site.
Jibreen al-Bakri, governor of the
Bethlehem region, told the BBC that the mosque in the village of Jabaa near Bethlehem
was set alight at dawn Wednesday, damaging the mosque's walls and
carpeted floor.
Israeli TV showed footage of
Hebrew graffiti on the walls that read "we want the redemption of Zion"
and "revenge" alongside a Jewish Star of David.
The Israeli army said it was investigating.
Jewish
vandals have targeted mosques, churches, Palestinian vehicles, dovish
Israeli groups and even Israeli military bases in so called "price tag"
attacks to protest Israeli government actions against settler activity.
