Verification
Corroborated: 6 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Attacker: most reports name Israeli settlers, but one Jerusalem Post item attributes the attack to unknown assailants, while another Jerusalem Post item says settlers allegedly carried it out.
- Location: Haaretz places Mukhmas near Ramallah, Tasnim places it northeast of Jerusalem, Al Jazeera says near occupied East Jerusalem, Drop Site says near Jerusalem, and one Haaretz item says only a West Bank village.
- Damage: Haaretz, Tasnim and one Jerusalem Post item report a car also set on fire, and Tasnim and that Jerusalem Post item also report an olive tree; the other outlets mention only the mosque.
- Drop Site News's item is headlined on unrelated stories about an Iranian mine and a Trump pardon, so its mosque report is a secondary item with vague wording.
Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
