**Israeli police investigating an arson attack on a West Bank mosque have arrested 10 men from a Jewish seminary.**About 100 policemen raided the Yitzhar settlement, near the Palestinian town of Yasuf where the mosque was attacked last month.
Police said some of the people arrested were students at the seminary, four of them minors who will soon be released.
The floor of the mosque and a stand holding copies of the Quran were burned in the December attack.
The Israeli police forced their way into the Od Yosef Hai yeshiva on Sunday, witnesses told local media.
Five people were arrested in connection to the attack on the Yasuf mosque. It was not clear why the other five were taken in, the Haaretz newspaper reported.
In December attackers also sprayed graffiti in Hebrew on the mosque wall which read: “Get ready to pay the price,” Israeli public radio reported. Another read: “We will burn you all.”

Obstacles to peace: Settlements
Some hard-line settlers say they will attack Palestinians in retaliation for any Israeli government measure they see as threatening Jewish settlements.
Its a policy they call the “price tag”.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a 10-month lull in permits for new settlement homes in the West Bank, not including East Jerusalem.
The order followed US and Palestinian calls for a total freeze in settlement building.
Palestinian officials have refused to rejoin peace talks until a total freeze is imposed.
All Jewish settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
