Israeli regime forces also abducted seven Palestinians following the assault, according to Palestinian media.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli forces abducted seven Palestinians while raiding the Al-Jalatiya neighborhood in the town of Idhna in the southern occupied West Bank, following an attack by occupiers on the Nabi Saleh Mosque and physical assaults on Palestinians.

The agency said Israeli forces fired live ammunition into the air, as well as stun grenades and tear gas, before removing the seven Palestinians from the mosque and abducting them.

Illegal settlers also erected a tent on Palestinian-owned land in Al-Jalatiya, brought a flock of sheep to the site and smashed a Palestinian's vehicle, Wafa reported.
