Terrible: Arson attack on mosque in Samaria

A mosque in Marda in the Samaria region was reportedly subjected to an arson attack last night (Thursday/Friday), according to Kann News.

The area and front of the mosque was spraypainted with graffiti, including a Jewish star and the words "revenge," "may the righteous be happy for he witnessed revenge," and "death to the Arabs."

A video posted by Kann shows the mosque suffering minor damage at its entrance.

The police and the Shin Bet have opened an investigation, and local Palestinians claim Jewish settlers were responsible for the attack, according to a report by Ynet.

There were no casualties and so far no arrests.

The Police and the Shin Bet said that "we view the event very seriously and we will act with determination to prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law."
