Israeli attacks have destroyed 380 mosques in Gaza: media office

The Palestinian government’s media office in Gaza has said that Israeli attacks have destroyed at least 380 mosques in the besieged territory, Al Jazeera reports.

The statement said that some of the destroyed mosques date back more than 1,000 years.

“The crime of bombing and destroying mosques led to the disappearance of the call to prayer from dozens of neighborhoods spread throughout the governorates of the Gaza Strip, as well as the stopping of the ringing of church bells”, the statement said, adding that three churches were destroyed by Israeli army attacks, as well.

The media office called on religious bodies across the world to condemn this destruction of places of worship.
