Israeli settlers set fire to mosque in northern West Bank village

A group of Israeli settlers torched a mosque in Biddya, a village in the northern occupied West Bank.

Video circulating online and verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency shows the carpet inside the mosque burning.

The Palestinian Authority’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission says there were more than 2,300 incidents of settler violence in October, the highest monthly total since the UN began tracking such cases in 2006.
