Israeli soldiers have converted a Palestinian building into a Jewish synagogue during their ground operation in northern Gaza, local media reported.

According to the The Jerusalem Post, Israeli soldiers have established a “synagogue in the heart of the Gaza Strip during the ground invasion”.

The newspaper did not specify the location of the converted building but published photos of the entrance, which features a large sign that reads “Abraham Temple.” Other photos showed the interior with seats and a table with Jewish religious books on it.

“The soldiers converted one of the buildings into a space for them to pray. They added benches and a table to place their prayer books,” the report said.
