WEST BANK: A 766-year-old mosque was also destroyed by
Israel during its military strikes on the town of Beit Hanun
in Gaza, which left 19 Palestinians including women and
children dead.
In a statement to the UN Observer website, the imam of the An-Nasr
Mosque in Beit Hanun, Sheikh Sihda Abu Zreyk said that the
mosque, which was established in 1240, was completely ruined
during the Israeli operation.
The targeting of places of worship during military operations
is considered to be a war crime according to the 16th article
of the Geneva Convention.
Israel’s destruction of the mosque has revealed another aspect
of the Israeli occupation in Palestinian territories.
