Two Mosques in Gaza Destroyed by Israeli Airstrikes

Gaza, MINA – The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs stated that two mosques, namely the Al-Amin Muhammad Mosque and the Malaysian Muhammad Mosque in the west and south of the Gaza Strip, were destroyed by bombs by Israeli occupation warplanes.

The Ministry of Waqf condemned the bombings, including the attack that destroyed the Al-Quran Radio headquarters in Palestine Tower, Gaza. Jaridah Al-Quds reported on Sunday.

The Ministry of Endowments emphasized that targeting mosques and legal and religious centers is a violation of the sanctity of places of worship, which is prohibited by all international laws and norms.

“These crimes are not unusual for the criminal occupation forces, which target civilians throughout the Gaza Strip with their aircraft and weapons,” the statement said.
