’’Israeli’’ Hatred Burns a Mosque

Local Editor

"Israel" respects neither sacred shrines nor holy places.
 

After the graves, mosques are under attack and Tuba-Zangariyye mosque might be not the last of "Israel's" list of daily attacks against holy places.

One of three mosques in the occupied village of Tuba-Zangariyye in Upper Galilee of Northern Occupied Palestine was set on fire overnight Sunday.

The entire interior of the mosque went up in flames, causing heavy damage. Holy Qurans inside the mosque were burned.

The words "price tag" and "revenge" were spray printed on the walls of the mosque.

Residents of the village described the attack as "very serious."

"It is obvious that Jewish extremists did this," one of the residents said.

Sheikh Uthman al-Hayeb, one of the mosque's caretakers, commented on the attack by saying: "today we shall decide how to respond to this shocking event. The arsonists who left us without a mosque must be punished."

One of the residents noted that the activity of all educational and commercial institutions has been suspended following the event. "No one will stay silent over this. Our response will be very harsh," he said.

Sheikh Kamal Khatib, deputy head of the Islamic Movement's northern branch declared that "racism has taken over the Jewish street. The government of "Israel" encourages such acts and hatred against Muslims."

Meanwhile, "Israeli" security forces attacked Arabs protesting the attack.

"Israeli" forces responded to clashes by firing tear gas and stunned grenades at the protesters.
