A mosque in Hebron devastated by Zionist forces

SHAFAQNA- Iqna: According to the local sources, Israel’s military destroyed a mosque and a house in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

Israeli army units used a bulldozer to destroy al-Ummah mosque in Jabal Jouhar south of Hebron city. The demolition included a water well used by the mosque, reported the head of the Hebron Waqf department Jamal Abu Arram, who said that the demolition came as a surprise to them and without a prior warning.

Waqf officials described the demolition of the mosque as an aggression against Muslim holy places and a provocation, as well as a crime against the right of Muslims to worship.

The Zionist army also demolished a house that was still under construction in the same area, Wafa news agency reported.

The demolitions took place in Area C, which is under full Israeli military rule and where Palestinians say construction with a permit is impossible to get since Israel does not allow Palestinian development in Area C that makes up over 60 percent of the area of the occupied West Bank.
