For the first time since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip 5 months ago, hundreds of Palestinians performed Friday prayers today in a square in the Jabalia camp, north of the Strip, after the occupation destroyed the town’s mosques.
The Director of Endowments in the northern Gaza Strip, Sheikh Morsi Salman, led the worshipers, and during his sermon he called for showing “compassion and cooperation, so whoever has surplus should give it back to those who have no food.”
He also urged people to adhere to the Book of God and regularly perform the morning remembrances and other acts of worship, and not to let this affliction discourage them from continuing to worship. He also called for the population to show the Israeli occupation army that they are patient and steadfast.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation has completely and partially destroyed 447 mosques in the Gaza Strip since the start of its aggression against the Strip on the seventh of last October.
