Israel warplanes strike mosque in Gaza
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Israeli warplanes targeted a mosque in Gaza City early Wednesday, according to Al-Aqsa TV.
“The occupation’s planes bombed Hattin Mosque on Al-Jalaa Street,” it said, without providing further details.
The attack raised the number of mosques in the Gaza Strip destroyed in Israeli attacks since October 7 to 33.
Places of worship, just like hospitals and schools, are inviolable according to international law. Targeting and destroying mosques constitutes a war crime.
Israel launched a relentless bombardment campaign on Gaza since October 7, putting the enclave’s residents under total siege and a blockade of food, fuel and medical supplies.
