IDF Launches Wide-Scale West Bank Operation; Settlers Torch Qusra Mosque

The Israeli military launched an aggressive crackdown across the northern West Bank, storming towns and villages and detaining hundreds of Palestinians, following the July 24 shootout near Nablus that killed 4 Palestinians and 2 Israeli soldiers. Netanyahu said the military 'is prepared to act more broadly in terrorist strongholds,' with orders to enter villages, search them, seize weapons, and make arrests. Israeli settlers, operating alongside the military presence, torched at least two mosques — including the Rahma Mosque in Qusra, vandalized with graffiti reading 'Benayahu's Revenge' and Stars of David — and detained dozens more Palestinians.
