Gaza's Ministry of Endowments denounced the targeting and destruction of Abu Slim historic mosque in Deir al-Balah and al-Asqalan mosque in Gaza City, characterizing the strikes as attacks on religious heritage and civilian infrastructure, Shehab Wire reported. The ministry also cited damage to service projects operated by a zakat committee under its purview.
The Waqf Authority did not specify the timing of the incidents or provide detailed accounts of the damage sustained at each site. The condemnation reflects mounting concern among Palestinian religious authorities over the state of mosques and charitable facilities across Gaza amid ongoing military operations in the territory.
