Israeli occupation authorities yesterday demolished a mosque in the town of Duma, south of the occupied West Bank of Nablus, local sources confirmed.

Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors colonial settlements in the northern West Bank, said that Israeli forces escorted a bulldozer into the town and tore down a mosque that has been attended by worshipers for two years, east of the town.

He added that the occupation forces also razed agricultural roads in the southern part of the town.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs slammed the mosque demolition as a clear act of aggression against Muslim holy sites and an act of provocation against Muslim sentiments.
