HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces demolished a mosque in the south Hebron hills on Tuesday, locals said.
The
mosque in al-Mafqara village, near Yatta, was destroyed by Israeli
forces, who prevented locals from removing books and other objects prior
to the demolition, witnesses told Ma'an.
The mosque was first
destroyed in 2011, having been issued a demolition order in 2003. In
June this year, villagers and international activists tried to
reconstruct the religious site, but were prevented from doing so by
Israeli military forces.
Villagers condemned the demolition,
calling it a violation of their right to worship. Israeli forces are
trying to force villagers to leave their homes in order to expand
Jewish-only settlements, they added.
Israeli authorities have
outlined plans to demolish and evacuate eight villages in the south
Hebron hills area to make space for a military training zone.

Israel's Violence on Palestenians
Right to Defend itself
Israel has always cried 'holocaust' tears to the world while singing the old tune of "Defending itself and its citizens".
How do they do it? By banning or killing international journalists by bribing their supportive governments.
Palestine is destroyed as a State so is Gaza. Meanwhile the "chronically suffering Israel" has developed to a point it does not need Uncle Sam anymore, see their infrastructure, see their military development up to nuclear programs... and they are the eternal "poor" in need.
