These attacks reflect a recurring pattern of crimes aimed at Palestinian religious and national symbols.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed that the occupying forces are attempting to restrict the presence of Palestinians in various regions, and the mosque burning is part of the ongoing assaults recently perpetrated by settlers.The settlement monitoring center reported over 70 violations in just three days across different areas of the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem. These assaults include the destruction of agricultural facilities, uprooting hundreds of olive trees, attacking residential areas, blocking roads, and direct physical assaults on Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>The settlement monitoring director highlighted Tel Aviv&#8217;s support for settler actions, asserting that this support stems from a complete sense of immunity from punishment. The attacks on places of worship, including the deliberate arson of the mosque in the village of Tal near Nablus, signify a dangerously escalating tension that violates the freedom of worship and unveils the true nature of the settlement project.He stressed that settlement projects pose a threat not only to the land of occupied Palestine but also to the religious and national identity of its inhabitants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The director of settlement monitoring in occupied Palestine has condemned the recent arson of a mosque by settlers in the West Bank, asserting that these acts aim to obliterate the religious identity of Palestinians, facilitated by the tacit approval of Israeli political and security officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":614,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/614"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24910\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
