Palestinian officials reported that Israeli settlers set fire to two mosques in the occupied West Bank overnight Sunday.
The attacks come amid a sharp spike in regional violence that has left six people dead in clashes this week.
The arson incidents mark a significant escalation in settler-related violence, following reports of vandalism and graffiti at religious sites earlier in the week.
Palestinian witnesses attributed the destruction to settlers, prompting an official response from local authorities.
This development follows a deadly incident on Thursday, when an Israeli civilian killed two Palestinians after they allegedly stabbed another Israeli who was attempting to extinguish a wildfire near a settlement.
The military confirmed the details of that confrontation, which has further inflamed tensions in the region.
