JERUSALEM (RNS) A West Bank mosque sustained damage Wednesday (February 25) in what Palestinians say was an arson attack carried out by Jewish nationalists.

Spray-painted Hebrew-language graffiti scrawled on the mosque’s exterior stone walls read “We want the redemption of Zion” and “Revenge” next to a Jewish Star of David.
