  "account": "On Tuesday night, Jewish settler extremists carried out a series of violent attacks in the West Bank village of Mukhmas. The extremists set fire to a mosque, a vehicle, and an olive tree, according to Israeli and Palestinian media reports.\n\nIn addition to the arson, nationalist slogans were found spray-painted throughout the village, including \"Regards, Susya,\" \"Evacuation = Messy,\" and \"The fact that we are quiet doesn't mean that we're sleeping.\" The extremists did not manage to hide their identities, as IDF forces arrived at the scene but found no suspects or made any arrests.\n\nPalestinian news organization PNN alleged that the attackers had also chased a shepherd and attempted to steal sheep belonging to local Palestinians. They further claimed that the settlers had stolen olives from Palestinian olive groves.\n\nEarlier in the day, KAN News reported another attack on a Palestinian family near Kusra in the West Bank. Masked Jewish attackers, posing as IDF soldiers, knocked on the family's door around 3 a.m. The family's father answered the door and was immediately beaten with sticks and rocks by the extremists. The mother and two teenage daughters tried to help their father and were also beaten.\n\nThe family opened the door believing the intruders to be soldiers. A relative present at the time stated that police had been called multiple times about the attack, and there was a military presence in the area. No arrests have been made in connection with this incident either.",
