Some 1,000 of 1,2000 mosques in the Gaza Strip have been destroyed in Israeli attacks since October 7, local authorities said on Sunday.

More than 100 Muslim preachers were also killed in the deadly Israeli offensive on the besieged enclave, Gaza's Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs said in a statement, adding that a church, several administrative buildings and Quranic schools were destroyed in the Israeli onslaught.

These include the Great Omari Mosque, one of the most important and ancient mosques in historical Palestine, and the Church of Saint Porphyrius, thought to be the third oldest church in the entire world.

Hezbollah Targets Command Center in Northern Israel

For the second time this month, Hezbollah reports targeting an Israeli Air Command Center in northern Israel with rockets. The base, on the top of Mt. Meron, was heavily used for aerial command before it was badly damaged earlier this month, in a Hezbollah retaliation to an assassination.

This time, Hezbollah is reporting the strikes were in response to further assassinations as well as Israeli attacks on civilians in southern Lebanon and Syria. Hezbollah’s comments on Syria likely refer to a Damascus attack that killed five Iranian advisors in a residential building that was destroyed.

The assassinations have occurred intermittently in Lebanon, with senior officials targeted as opportunity presents itself. The most recent such attack killed a Hezbollah operative, yet reportedly the main target of the drone strike was able to survive.

EUs Borrell: Israel cant veto Palestinians right to self-determination

Israel does not have the right to veto Palestinians’ right to self-determination, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said yesterday.

“Israel cannot have the veto right to the self-determination of the Palestinian people,” Borrell said during a joint press conference with Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and EU Commissioner for Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi in Brussels.

“We appreciate the crucial role played by Egypt, in ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza, on providing health care to medical evacuees, on negotiating the humanitarian pause, and the release of hostages in November,” Borrell said.

He noted that the EU aims to build a “coalition supportive to the relaunch of a political perspective for the two-state solution… And Egypt is and has to be a key partner in this regard.”

He pointed out that the United Nations has repeatedly recognised the Palestinians’ right to self-determination, and no party can deny or oppose that.
