Mosque in Syria’s Quneitra Demolished by Israeli Forces

IQNA – The Dagestan Mosque, the courthouse, and surrounding buildings in Quneitra, southwestern Syria, were demolished by Zionist forces.

Enab Baladi’s correspondent in Quneitra said the city witnessed the sound of explosions that shook the area, the first on Thursday morning and the second in the evening.

It later became clear that the explosions resulted from detonation operations carried out by the Israeli regime’s army forces stationed in the ruined city of Quneitra. The operations destroyed what remained of the Dagestan Mosque, located in the city center, along with neighboring buildings.

According to the correspondent, these actions aim to further fortify the military base, in addition to removing evidence of the brutality of the acts committed.

Local sources around the area said that these actions are part of fortifications carried out by Israeli army forces, whether for the military base in the city or for the fortification works along the “Sufa” line, which involve digging trenches and raising berms along the ceasefire line.

The remaining buildings are currently being destroyed, while al-Andalus Cinema, al-Golan Hospital, and Ibn al-Haytham Secondary School were destroyed last January, according to the correspondent.

Parts of Quneitra city had been destroyed by the Israeli army after its withdrawal following the October War in 1974.

Israeli army incursions continue in the Quneitra countryside, amid searches, raids, arrests, and the establishment of checkpoints on roads.

After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad government on December 8, 2024, the Israeli army began a new campaign of incursions inside Syria, entering areas it considered closed military zones and positioning itself there.
