The Ministry of Religious Affairs of Palestine reported an incident at the Nur al-Din Zanki Mosque in Bazar, near Nablus, describing the event as a “criminal attack” by a group of newcomers. Visual evidence provided by AFP included photographs and video footage showing burn marks near one of the mosque’s windows, alongside threatening inscriptions in Hebrew on the exterior walls. According to local resident Majed Nasr, the incident occurred around 2:45 p.m., when he stated that “the colonists unexpectedly attacked it.
There was a small explosion that caused a fire inside the mosque building,” after which the newcomers reportedly fled the area. Separately, Hamas issued a statement regarding a development in the Gaza Strip, asserting that it had agreed to surrender its weapons. In summary, the report details an attack on the mosque in Bazar.
While the initial incident involved an explosion leading to a fire within the structure, local accounts suggest the fire was contained before it could reach the main upper sections of the mosque.
