Israeli forces desecrate Holy Quran & destroy Gaza mosques, sparking global outrage

GAZA: A video has emerged showing Israeli forces entering a mosque and burning copies of the Holy Quran during the offensive in Gaza.

According to foreign media, Israeli soldiers desecrated copies of the Holy Quran in the Bani Salih Mosque in northern Gaza and recorded their heinous act with a body camera.

Videos circulating on social media show Israeli soldiers desecrating and setting fire to Quranic manuscripts inside the mosque.

Additionally, another video has surfaced showing Israeli forces demolishing a 96-year-old mosque in Gaza.

The desecration of the Holy Qur’an by the Israeli forces has sparked outrage among Muslims around the world.

Hamas has strongly condemned the provocative actions of the Israeli soldiers, saying that such hateful actions show the extremist nature of the Israeli army. Posting such videos on social media is indicative of Israel’s systematic criminal policy.

Since 7 October 2023, Israeli forces have destroyed 609 mosques in Gaza, with 211 mosques partially damaged by Israeli bombardment. Among the affected mosques is the 1400-year-old Omri Mosque in Gaza City.

Additionally, the Israeli army has also destroyed three churches in Gaza.

As a result of Israeli aggression, more than 40,300 Palestinians have been martyred since October 7, 2023, in which the majority are women and children. In addition, more than 93,000 people have been injured.

Due to the severe Israeli-imposed blockade, there are severe shortages of food, water and medicine in Gaza, exacerbating the already dire conditions of the besieged population.
