Jews storm mosque, attack imam on Muslim holy day

Dozens of settlers stormed Duma Mosque, opening fire on the building and attacked the Imam early Monday morning in the south of Nablus.

More than 20 cars loaded with settlers from the nearby Migdalim settlement barged into the village at 4:30am, broke into the mosque and attacked Imam Mohamed Hassan Dawabsheh, who was trying to stop them.

Israeli forces intervened more than an hour and a half after the settlers entered the mosque.

No one was injured during the incident, which lasted more than two hours and took place on the Islamic holiday of Eid Al-Adha. Maan
