Israeli army shelled two mosques and destroyed headquarters of Holy Quran Radio in Gaza

The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs denounced the Israeli occupation’s bombing of Al-Amin Muhammad Mosque and the Malaysian Muhammad Mosque in the west and south of the Gaza Strip, and the destruction of the Ministry’s Holy Quran Radio headquarters located in the Palestine Tower, which was destroyed by the occupation yesterday.


The Ministry confirmed in a statement today, Sunday, that targeting mosques and legal and religious headquarters constitutes a violation of the sanctity of places of worship, which is prohibited by all international laws and norms.


The Ministry said: "These crimes are not strange to the criminal occupation forces, which target civilians throughout the Gaza Strip with their aircraft and weapons."


The Ministry called on the international community to take urgent action to protect civilians and places of worship, and to hold the occupation leaders accountable for their ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people.
