Jewish extremists storm, vandalizes mosque south of Tel Aviv

By KUNA

Gaza : Jewish extremists stormed early on Tuesday Hassan Baik mosque located south of the Israeli capital, Tel Aviv, Israel Radio said.

“The extremists burst into the mosque this morning and destroyed many of its contents and ravaged an adjacent garden,” the radio said.

Extensive damage at the mosque was discovered by Muslim worshippers who arrived from the city of Jafa (Yafa) at the mosque to perform Al-Fajir (dawn) prayers. Police was notified about the desecration of the mosque.

The mosque is located in a region with Jewish majority. Extremists repeatedly attack it and the Israeli authorities have taken no precautions to prevent the militants.

The last attack on the mosque was in August 2005, when a couple of Jews desecrated its sanctity, touching off Palestinians’ outrage.
