Two mosques set on fire in West Bank amid surge in Israeli settler violence; US condemns violence by 'all parties'

Two mosques in the Israeli-occupied West Bank were set on fire overnight in an apparent Israeli settler attack, following a spate of deadly violence that killed four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers. Palestinians and the Israeli opposition accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government of overlooking attacks by settlers against Palestinians, which threaten to ignite widespread violence. The US State Department condemned violence by 'all parties' in the occupied West Bank, as Israeli forces detained at least 70 Palestinians in raids.
