Palestinian Mosques

2023-04-09 Israel’s War Against Mosques in Occupied Palestine Israel has a long history of violating the Palestinians’ right to worship. Palestinian Islamic sanctities are constantly targeted by Israeli occupation forces. Israel and its Jewish settlers have killed many Palestinians in different mosques.
Israel has consistently singled out Alaqsa Mosque with restrictions attacks and raids. Israel also restricts Muslims’ access to Ibrahimi Mosque in Al-Khalil/Hebron. Israel blocked the call to prayer in Ibrahimi Mosque 613 times in 2022. Since 1948 Israel has deprived Palestinians of worshipping at dozens of holy sites either through destruction or closure. Since 2008 Israel has bombed 113 mosques in the besieged Gaza Strip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK9gDNwhKjk, https://english.palinfo.com/video_articles/Israel-s-War-Against-Mosques-in-Occupied-Palestine/
2023-03-06 Israel: UN expert condemns brutal attacks on Palestinians at Al-Aqsa Mosque A UN expert today condemned the violent incursions by Israeli forces into the Haram Al-Sharif compound and the attacks on Palestinian worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday.
“As Palestinian Muslims gathered for Ramadan prayers exercising their right to worship in Al-Aqsa Mosque, Israeli authorities used blatantly excessive and unjustified force against them,” said Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Albanese said at least 31 Palestinians were reportedly injured inside and immediately outside the compound, while paramedics were allegedly prevented from providing medical treatment to the wounded. According to initial accounts, Israeli forces violently entered Al-Aqsa Mosque, used stun grenades and tear gas, fired sponge-tipped bullets, and indiscriminately beat Muslim worshippers – including elderly people and women – with batons and rifle butts. At least 450 Palestinian men were reportedly arrested, and some were kicked and slapped by escorting soldiers as they were led out of the Haram Al-Sharif compound in handcuffs.https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/04/israel-un-expert-condemns-brutal-attacks-palestinians-al-aqsa-mosque?
