Arson attackers on mosque arrested in Israel

Israeli police have arrested five settlers in connection with an arson attack on a Palestinian mosque in the West Bank in December.

The five were arrested during a raid by Israeli police and the Shin Bet domestic security agency in Yitzhar, a bastion of hardline settlers in the northern West Bank of Occupied Palestine, Israel's army radio reported.

Police had previously arrested a 17-year-old from another West Bank settlement in connection with the mosque attack, but he has been already released.

At the time the mosque was attacked, on December 11, the arsonists torched holy books and sprayed hate messages in Hebrew on the structure's walls.

Hardline Israeli settlers have adopted what they call a "price tag" policy under which they attack Palestinians, whenever Tel Aviv forces them to curb their settlement projects.
