GAZA July 03. 2024 (Saba) - On Tuesday, the Zionist enemy forces fired several large rockets at the "Ben Othman" mosque located in the heart of Shujaiya and turned it into a monument after an eye, which is one of the historical Islamic landmarks in the Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinian Information Center, the mosque is the second largest archaeological mosque in the Gaza Strip after the "Omari Al-Kabir" mosque, located in the "Al-Daraj neighborhood" in the center of the city, and it is one of the historical evidence of the nobility of Gaza City.
The residents of the "Shujaiya neighborhood" call this mosque the "Great Mosque" because of its large area and its middle market, which has had a great impact on their lives over the ages since its establishment more than 600 years ago.
It is noteworthy that the mosque "Ibn Othman" had been subjected to attacks and demolition through previous wars on the Gaza Strip, and was considered a center for confrontations with the Zionist enemy forces during the uprising of stones that broke out on the eighth of December 1987.
The mosque, which is in the Mamluk style, covers an area of 2,000 square meters, of which 400 meters is the area of its main square, and it has two gates overlooking the Shujaiya market.
