The Indonesian Istiqlal Mosque in Gaza was inaugurated on February 22 2022 as a symbol of Indonesia’s brotherhood with Palestine. This mosque, funded by the Indonesian people, stands on an area of 175 square meters with a building area of 940 square meters which can accommodate 5,000 worshipers every day.
Israel has stepped up its attacks on Khan Younis and declared the town a “dangerous battle zone”. Gaza’s second largest city, previously considered a safe zone at the start of the conflict, is now also a place of destruction and suffering. (T/RE1)
