Hamas says Gaza mosque destroyed, urges UNESCO to save heritage The Great Omari Mosque has been reduced to rubble, with only its ancient minaret standing, according to images released by the Palestinian group.

The Othman bin Qashqar Mosque, also in Gaza City, was hit by air raids on Thursday, Hamas said. It also condemned the destruction of the Hammam al-Samara, the last Turkish-style bath in the territory, where Gaza Palestinians had bathed for more than 1,000 years. The Palestinian group, which has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007, said three churches had also been destroyed, including the 1,000-year-old Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius, the oldest still active in the territory.

This is the al-Umari Mosque, the oldest mosque in the Gaza Strip. It’s around 1400 years older than Israel. Israel bombed it. Since the beginning of its genocide of the Gaza Strip, Israel has knocked down mosques, churches, schools, universities, restaurants & hotels. — Maha Hussaini (@MahaGaza) December 8, 2023

Since Israel began its assault on Gaza in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attack, one of the most devastating architectural victims has been a historic, centuries-old mosque. Initially constructed as a Byzantine church in the fifth century, it became known as the Great Omari Mosque in the seventh century, the first-ever mosque to be established in Gaza during the period of Islamization. Gaza’s strategic coastal location has allowed it to bear witness to many changes: 11th-century Crusaders converted the mosque back into a church, which was converted to a mosque again a century later. The region has weathered much conflict, having played a role in many different empires. “Gaza was actually a sizable city under the Byzantines and, before them, the Romans, and was a [political] center…for the Mamluk Empire in the 13th through 15th centuries. And that’s when it probably reached its highest level of administrative power,” Nasser Rabbat, the director of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT, tells me. “Gaza was the place where the [Mamluk] army would congregate on the way to their campaigns in northern Syria, in the Euphrates region, or in Anatolia against its host of enemies.” The Great Omari Mosque reflected this history. It had been damaged and rebuilt many times over the centuries: attacked by the Mongols in the 13th century, battered by an earthquake a few decades later, restored and expanded in the Ottoman era, and partially destroyed by British bombs in World War I, only to be restored once more. Now it’s been effectively obliterated; only some walls and one minaret remain. This is—make no mistake—a deliberate element of the Israeli campaign to erase all traces of Palestinian life.

Graphic design artist Moataz Abu Sakran shares footage of the damage inflicted by the IOF on several famous mosques in north Gaza as Ramadan approaches. The first, Omari Mosque or the Great Mosque of Gaza, has been a religious site for over 3000 years, dating to the late-Bronze Age Philistine people. Religious buildings there have been destroyed many times. God willing, they will always be rebuilt.

MWW Artwork of the Day (6/24/23) Umayyad Spain (Moorish, 8th-15th c.) Interior view: Great Mosque-Cathedral (8th c. CE) Córdoba, Spain

The building is most notable for its giant arches, with 856 columns of jasper, onyx, marble and granite. These were made from pieces of the Roman temple which had occupied the site previously, as well as other destroyed Roman buildings. The double arches, pictured above, were a new introduction to architecture, and helped support the tremendous weight of the higher ceilings. The double arches consist of a lower horseshoe arch and an upper semi-circular arch. The famous alternating black and white voussoirs of the arches were inspired by those in the Dome of the Rock. They resemble those of Aachen Cathedral, which were built almost at the same time.

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🧨💥 🚨

💥ISRAELI OCCUPATION BOMBING DESTROYS 7TH CENTURY GREAT OMARI MOSQUE IN GAZA CITY💥

📹 The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), in its bombing campaign and genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, destroyed the 7th Century Great Omari Mosque in the Old City of Gaza.

Archeologists believe the Omari Mosque was once the ancient site of a Philistine temple, before the Byzantines erected a church on the site in the 5th century AD.

After the 7th Century Muslim conquest of the Levant, the church was transformed into the Great Omari Mosque known today.

The ancient mosque endured a major earthquake in the early 11th century which toppled its minaret but left the mosque standing. The mosque even survived the Crusades and several wars throughout the following centuries, only to be destroyed by Israeli bombing in the closing days of 2023.

This clip shows the devastation inflicted on Gaza's Great Omari Mosque by Israeli bombardment. Al-Omari is the second oldest mosque in Palestine after Al-Aqsa. It's a symbol of heritage and pride, embodying thousands of years of history in Gaza and Palestine. — Jehad Abusalim جهاد أبو سليم (@/JehadAbusalim) January 27, 2024
