The Israeli military announced its troops killed two suspected militants in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, while Palestinian officials accused Israeli settlers of setting ablaze a mosque in the territory. This incident follows a surge in settler violence in recent weeks.

• Israeli soldiers "eliminated two terrorists" near the community of Karmei Zur, according to the military.
• The Ramallah-based Palestinian foreign ministry stated Israeli settlers set fire to the Hajja Hamida mosque near Deir Istiya, with AFP photographs showing burnt Koran copies and smoke damage.
• Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, the Israeli army chief, condemned the violence, calling it a "red line" that contradicts their values.
• Since October 2023, 1,003 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces or settlers, while 43 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks.
