Israeli soldiers set fire to a mosque built during the reign of Hazrat Umar in Hebron
Israeli occupation soldiers set fire to an ancient mosque built during the reign of Hazrat Umar ibn Khattab (RA) in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood of Hebron, Palestine.
Local sources reported that the fire was quickly extinguished, preventing major damage.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage among Palestinians, who see the mosque as an important part of their religious and cultural heritage. It is feared that such attacks on mosques could further escalate tensions in the region.
The historic An-Nasr Mosque in Nablus was also recently engulfed in flames. Witnesses said the fire completely destroyed the imam's room, as well as damaging the mosque's carpets and facade. The mosque was originally built as a church during the Roman era and was converted into a mosque after the Crusaders defeated it in 1187.
The Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs condemned the incidents, calling them a disrespect for holy sites. The ministry warned that such attacks could further worsen the situation in the region.
Such attacks on mosques have also been condemned by the international community. Many countries and organizations have called on all parties to maintain peace and respect, and stressed the importance of protecting religious sites.
It is worth noting that the situation in the region remains complex and such incidents could negatively affect the peace process. It is said that such incidents can be prevented by strengthening dialogue and cooperation between all parties.
