Date of damage

7 October 2023

Details about the place

Al-Zafar Damri Mosque is one of the oldest and most significant Islamic and archaeological landmarks in Gaza Strip, located in Al-Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. The mosque, along with many other historical mosques in Gaza Strip, was deliberately targeted by Israeli occupation forces in an attempt to erase Gaza's history and civilization.

During the 2014 war, the mosque suffered near-total destruction, with 80% of its structure demolished. This included the destruction of the modern section of the mosque, built in 2010, which housed the library, minaret, some columns, and the iwans located on the western side, constructed from clay and stones.

In 2015, the mosque was restored at the expense of charitable donors, with careful attention to its original architectural details, following the ancient Mamluk style as it was more than 600 years ago.

In 2023, during the genocidal war, the mosque was completely destroyed due to airstrikes by Israeli warplanes and artillery shelling in the area surrounding the mosque and nearby regions.
