Settlers burn down mosque and tractor in Al-Muarrajat

On February 2, 2025, at 2 am, settlers invaded the community of Al-Muarrajat, southern Jordan Valley, and carried out an arson attack.

Mistaclim activists, who were staying in a nearby village, arrived at the scene. A military patrol and a settler were already present, filming the incident and behaving violently towards the activists. An IDF officer took testimony from one of the residents who witnessed the incident and sent soldiers to the illegal outpost of Zohar Sabah, located nearby, to identify four suspects in the arson.

A fire truck arrived about forty minutes after the fire was detected, but the firefighters did nothing. In the morning, the fire was still burning in the mosque. Later, a police car also arrived and went down to the nearby outpost.

The eyewitness was advised to file a complaint with the Binyamin police. Based on past experiences, the complaint was likely to be dismissed. The security forces are aware of the settler violence and do nothing to prevent it.
