Walking through the ruins of Gaza's Great Omari Mosque

The Great Omari Mosque in Gaza, a 2,000-year-old architectural and historical treasure, has stood through centuries of transformation and war. Yet, on 8 December 2023, Israeli air strikes targeted this sacred site. The destruction of the mosque is not just an assault on stone and history, it is an attempt to erase a people’s deep-rooted presence, their rights and their unbreakable connection to the land.
