> Palestinian witnesses describe coordinated Israeli army and settler attacks on mosques in the occupied West Bank. Tear gas thrown into a mosque during evening prayers in Madama left a 66-year-old worshipper struggling to breathe, while a mosque in nearby Bazariya was set alight and covered with Hebrew threats. The Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs says at least 13 mosques have been vandalised or burned this year.
