The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs in the Gaza Strip says the Israeli military has destroyed hundreds of mosques during the occupying regime’s year-long genocidal war against the besieged enclave.

The ministry announced in a statement on Saturday that Israeli airstrikes have destroyed 814 mosques, while another 148 have been severely damaged.

It went on to say that the Israeli military has also destroyed three churches as well as 19 cemeteries in addition to mosques, adding that the estimated financial cost of the damage to the ministry's properties is $350 million.

The ministry further said Israeli troops have desecrated graves, adding that they have exhumed bodies, and committed brutal acts of violence against those who died, such as stealing their remains and mutilating them.
