❗️Yestreday evening, Israeli occupation forces entered the historic An-Nasr Mosque in Nablus’s Old City and set fire to sections of the building, as reported by local sources.
The mosque, which is the largest and oldest in Nablus, has deep historical roots. Originally constructed as a Crusader church in 1167 AD, it was transformed into a mosque after the Al-Salahi conquest of Nablus in 1187 AD. Since then, the site has seen multiple restorations and remains a significant cultural landmark.
❗️Hamas:
"The Israeli occupation’s attacks on mosques during Ramadan, including the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by occupation forces and settlers, their ongoing Judaization attempts, their continued efforts to seize full control of the Ibrahimi Mosque, and the desecration and burning of several mosques in Nablus this morning, are clear escalations in the occupation’s religious war and its assault on Islamic sanctities as part of its open war on our people and land.
The attacks on mosques in Nablus and Hebron, setting rooms on fire, and preventing worshippers from performing the Fajr prayer mark a dangerous precedent that requires all efforts to prevent its recurrence and to stand firm against the occupation’s policies and ambitions.
The Palestinian people and their resistance will remain the protective shield in defending their mosques and sanctities, which are under continuous attack and desecration by the occupation and its settlers, especially during Ramadan, the month of sacrifice and jihad.
We call upon our people in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the occupied territories to intensify all forms of resistance, to increase their presence and steadfastness in Al-Aqsa and the Ibrahimi Mosque, and to confront the occupation’s aggression against mosques and holy sites."
"Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people."
Gaza is an integral part of Palestinian territory and rightfully belongs to the Palestinian people, and any attempt to alter its status through force will not lead to peace but will only create further turmoil, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated during a press conference.

"Around 90,000 worshippers performed the first Friday prayer of Ramadan at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque."
