When it comes to this conflict, no news sources are reliable. All western sources are verbatim quoting IDF and spreading propaganda. If they did this for Putin quotes we’d call them psyops. Virtually all “unbiased” media sources have completely wrecked their reputation.
The Omari Mosque was originally a 5th century Byzantine church that was built over a more ancient temple. It was converted into a mosque in the 7th century, then a Crusader church in the 11th century, and back to a mosque in the 13th century.
The architectural elements of the Crusader church were still apparent in the modern-day mosque, and an etching of a Jewish menorah on a mosque column, believed to have been originally part of an ancient synagogue, was once documented, and was destroyed in recent decades.
All that history- gone.
Edit: If you want some perspective, this mosque was from the century before the Buddhas that the Taliban destroyed.
Thanks you for posting this. I tried searching for this story on Google News to find a reputable source and I couldn’t find one. This was yesterday morning. There were about 12 sources, all obscure, with the only one I’ve heard of being the Hindustan Times (and I really have no idea their quality).
So before we give anyone a hard time for doubting this source, just recognize that at least when this was posted, it was suspiciously lacking any legit sources.
How’s this for a source?: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/09/1218384968/mosque-gaza-omari-israel-hamas-war
Or is NPR “Total Oppression”?
NPR is a fine source. The US has press freedom. They’re rated as “High Credibility”. You thought I’d have a problem with that?
Don’t post shit from state-controlled propaganda networks.

Thanks. Op should probably update the source to this one or similar. There’s no reason to link to a bad source if good ones are available.
Looking at their comments here, I don’t think OP is interested in playing by the community rules.
Propaganda is insidious.
All that history- gone.
