<p style="font-size:10pt;">DAMASCUS, (PIC)&#8211; Hamas strongly  condemned what it called “IOF thuggish behaviour” against the  Palestinian people in the villages of the Jordan valley and the Negev,  the last of which was the demolition of the village mosque in Yazra in  the West Bank.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The IOF on Thursday morning raided the  village of  Yarza near the Northern Jordan Valley city of Tubas,   demolished the village mosque and handed out demolition notices against  ten homes in the village. The neighboring village of Abu Al-Ajjaj was  torn down one day earlier.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Hamas said in a statement on Thursday “We,  in the Hamas movement,  strongly condemn the thuggery of the Zionist  army against our people in the Jordan valley villages and the Negev, and  consider its criminal act today, which comes one day after the  demolition of Abu Al-Ajjaj village as an expression of Zionist racist  policies driven by sheer hate and based on violating the rights of the  Palestinian people through deportation, forceful expulsion and  demolishing mosque and homes in favour of Jewish settlement projects .”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The movement stressed that the occupation  crime of demolishing the mosque which has been standing for 40 years is  but one in a chain of aggressions on houses of worship and reflects a  war on heavenly religions and the holy places associated with them in  contravention of all international conventions.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Hamas called on the Palestinian people to  unite against the occupation onslaught on mosques and holy places and on  the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, the Arab League and the  United Nations to play their role in defending human rights and places  of worship.</p>
