GAZA(Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement said “burning copies of the Holy Quran at the hands of Zionist Israeli soldiers after storming and desecrating the Bani Saleh Mosque in the northern Gaza Strip, along with the destruction of other mosques in the Strip, points to the nature of this extremist occupation entity and its soldiers who are full of hatred and criminality, and their fascist behavior towards everything related to the Islamic identity of the nation and its sanctities.”
The Movement indicated in a press statement on Saturday, that “the Israeli occupation soldiers boasting about their heinous crime on social media clearly indicates a systematic criminal policy run by the Nazi occupation government aimed at continuing the brutal war of extermination against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and all aspects of life there.”
Hamas appealed to the masses of the Muslim and Arab nation, organizations, and the free people of the world to express anger and condemnation over the fascist Zionist behavior, to defend the Islamic and Christian sanctities in Palestine, to stop the genocide against the people in the Gaza Strip, and to support the steadfastness of the people and their valiant resistance.
Earlier, Al-Jazeera published footage obtained from Israeli occupation soldiers and drones showing violations against mosques in Gaza.
The footage showed Israeli soldiers storming the Bani Saleh Mosque in the northern Gaza Strip and then tearing up and burning copies of the Quran, the Muslims’ holy book, inside the mosque.
The footage also showed Israeli soldiers blowing up the Grand Mosque in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, one of the oldest mosques in the Strip, built 96 years ago.
