Report: Israel to demolish Palestinian homes as settlers burn two mosques

Lieutenant Colonel Ella Waweya, a spokesperson for the Israeli army, says Israeli forces are raiding the homes of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank “in preparation for their temporary sealing, as a preliminary step preceding their demolition”, according to Al Jazeera

The move comes after four Palestinians, who were trying to fend off a settler and Israeli forces’ raid, and two Israeli soldiers were killed on Friday in the village of Tal, southwest of Nablus.

The Israeli military, however, said it had dispatched troops to the area following “an attack on Israelis hiking in the area”.

Palestinian media, meanwhile, reported that settlers burned a mosque in the village of Kafr Qaddum, south of the city of Tulkarm.
