Hamas: Settler attack on West Bank mosque ‘a fascist and organized crime’

TEHRAN (Iran News) The Palestinian group issued a statement on Monday, the same day Israeli settlers set fire to the Abu Bakr as-Siddiq Mosque, located between the towns of Sarra and Tal, near Nablus in the northern West Bank. The settlers also spray-painted racist slogans on the mosque’s walls.

“The action carried out on Monday by Zionist settlers is a fascist and organized crime, and a blatant assault on places of worship and Islamic holy sites. This act constitutes a clear violation of all international laws and norms that guarantee the protection of religious and sacred sites,” Hamas said in the statement.

The movement called on the Palestinian people to take measures to protect mosques and other religious sites in the face of settler attacks and to counter these aggressive acts.

Hamas also urged the United Nations and all human rights organizations to condemn “this criminal fascist behavior,” prosecute its perpetrators, and hold Israeli officials accountable for encouraging such brutal crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as Islamic and Christian holy sites.
