Israeli police and residents of a West Bank village say arsonists have set fire to a Palestinian mosque. Mayor of Burkina village Accra Samara says a flaming tire was thrown into the entrance of the mosque early Wednesday, and that assailants scrawled the words, “Hero of Ariel.” Ariel is a nearby Jewish settlement. Israeli police spokeswoman Cuba Samurai says they are investigating the incident. Hard-line Jewish youths are suspected to be behind a series of attacks against Palestinians and their property, including several mosques.
