IN 2025, 45 ATTACKS ON MOSQUES WERE CARRIED OUT
It was reported that fanatic Israelis under the protection of the Israeli army carried out attacks on 45 mosques in 2025. The statement used the expression, "The attempt to set fire to the mosque clearly reveals how barbarically the racist Israeli provocation machine behaves against Islamic and Christian sanctities in Palestine."

"EVIDENCE OF ISRAEL'S SAVAGE BARBARISM"
The statement conveyed that attacks targeting sacred sites, including arson, closure, and the prohibition of the call to prayer at mosques, are "evidence of Israel's savage barbarism."
