Hamas strongly condemns the Jewish settlers arson attack on mosque

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Hamas strongly condemned the Jewish settlers’ arson attack on a mosque in Brukin village west of Salfit and held the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) fully responsible for repercussions of such “criminal attacks”.Hamas, in a statement on Wednesday, said that the attack ran contrary to the teachings of heavenly religions and articles in the international law.The movement asked the Islamic cooperation organizations and human rights organizations to protect the Islamic holy sites from the settlers and soldiers.For its part, the Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage denounced the attack the burnt part of the mosque, recalling past similar crimes against mosques and churches in various parts of Palestinian land.Such recurrent practice indicates that it was not individual or unplanned but rather proves that it was systematic based on racist programs, the foundation said, warning that the practice was similar to some kind of “religious war”./129
