Ongoing Aggression: “Israeli” Forces Destroy Another Mosque

"Israeli" military bulldozers have demolished yet another mosque and some structures in the Khirbet Yarza area in the northern Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank.

Earlier on Thursday, "Israeli" forces had destroyed a Palestinian mosque built before the 1967 "Israeli" occupation in Tubas, a small town in the occupied West Bank, violating basic rights of its residents.

"Israeli" troops razed another mosque and more than 10 other structures in two areas of the occupied West Bank on the same day, AFP quoted Palestinian sources as saying.

They also said troops had leveled "more than 10 buildings used for sheep". Most of the demolitions took place in the village of Khirbet Yarza.

The "Israeli" army confirmed knocking down what it described as "eight temporary structures" that had been built inside a military firing zone without the required permits.

At the opposite end of the West Bank, "Israeli" troops also destroyed a building that was home to 18 people in the southern town of Yatta, the family and municipal officials told AFP.

Khirbet Yarza is located in Area C of the West Bank, which is under full "Israeli" occupation and where Palestinians have to take permits for all construction and planning issues from the "Israeli" Civil Administration.

Head of Settlement file in Tubas, Ahmad Asaad referred that the mosque was built in the year 1967, and it's the only mosque in the village, also confirming that the residents of the village possess the license and official documents of the mosque.
