A new report from journalist Itai Blumenthal (N12) provides specific details on the mosque arson in the village of Kur, south of Tulkarm, early Sunday morning. According to the report, Jewish individuals set fire to the entrance of the mosque and sprayed the graffiti 'Jewish blood is not abandoned' on the walls. The Zioneer reported earlier at 08:01 that a mosque in Kur had been set on fire and sprayed with graffiti, noting it was the second such incident in the West Bank overnight, following an attack on a mosque in Kusra reported at 07:33.
