A group of radical Israeli settlers have attacked a mosque near the West Bank city of Bethelem, ransacking the holy site and burning copies of the holy Qur'an, residents say.
A group of Israeli extremists stormed a mosque in the town of Beit Fajjar overnight, burned copies of the Muslim holy book and set fire to carpets in the building, Ma'an news agency quoted locals as saying on Monday.
Palestinian residents reportedly arrived at the scene and clashed with the assailants.
The witnesses blamed the attack on a group of Israeli settlers from the nearby Kfar Etsyon settlement.
The settlers also desecrated the holy site by spraying graffiti and hate messages on the walls inside the mosque in Hebrew..
