Israeli police said Friday they are investigating after a "room was ignited" in a mosque on the outskirts of Jerusalem and Hebrew graffiti was found on an outside wall.
The graffiti was hard to make out but appears to have been left by ultra-nationalist Israelis. One part read, "Demolishing [for] Jews? Demolishing enemies!" an apparent reference to the dismantling of settler outposts in Judea and Samaria.

The mosque is in the Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa, in east Jerusalem.
Hard-line Israeli nationalists have been implicated in past attacks on Palestinians and their property in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
