Palestinian and Israeli leaders condemn mosque attack

Jerusalem, June 7 (ENInews)--Israeli and Palestinian politicians condemned
an arson attack on a West Bank mosque on 7 June, but Palestinians also
accused Israel of "turning a blind eye" to the attacks, which they suspected
were carried out by Jewish settlers.

According to reports, the fire began in the mosque of the West Bank
village of al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah, in the early hours of the morning
and was discovered by Palestinian worshippers who had come for morning
prayers. Reports said a burning tire was found inside which had burned the
carpet. 

Press reports noted that Hebrew graffiti was found on the mosque wall
reading "Price Tag -- Eley Ain" which seemed to imply that the attack was in
reprisal for the recent removal of some structures in the nearby Israeli
settlement of Eley Ain.
