Israeli police demolish Sahwa Mosque

Zionist terror police have demolished a two-storey mosque in Rahet, a small Bedouin town in the south of occupied Palestine with a population of 45,000 people. It was knocked down in the early hours of the morning and during demolition 5000 Israeli police armed with riot gear surrounded the area to control the protesters. Police fired tear-gas and rubber bullets at protesters as a bulldozer tore down the mosque.

The Zionist police claimed that Sahwa mosque was built without any permission from the authorities and the court ruled the mosque constituted a blatant violation of the law.

Hours after the demolition, Palestinians conducted their prayers close to the site and residents began work to build the foundation for a new mosque.

Rahet, the town in the Negev desert was first occupied by the Zionist forces in 1948, since then the Palestinian residents have been forced to live without municipal services.
