Most of the demolition activity took place in the village of Khirbet Yarza in the northern Jordan Valley, where residents said troops had razed a very old mosque and its much-larger extension, which was built last year.
They also said troops had levelled "more than 10 buildings used for sheep."
The army confirmed knocking down what it described as "eight temporary structures" which had been built inside a military firing zone.
"During the morning, the security forces and the Civil Administration destroyed eight temporary structures and the frame of another structure, which were built without the required permits inside a firing zone endangering the lives of the residents," said a statement from COGAT, the defence ministry unit which acts as a link between the army and the Palestinians.

this leads to, but of course doesnt follow through to, another element regularly not acknowledged in the isralei/palestinian conflict.
every stone israel lays in the effort of construction recieves media attention, while the palestinians have been building wooden mosk's all over israeli territory.kind of like building the dome of the rock atop the old temple ruins to claim divine ownership of that place.they are doing the same by building wooden mosk's all over

here is one, and if you check out shalom tv, this one isnt exclusive.it is a tactic that isnt exclusive to islam but shared by all religions, but at present is a common thread in certain muslim communities.

pakistans version.and right now a huge debate is brewing in new jersey over the same bullshit.
israel has seen a massive explosion of wooden mosk's being built, as it is a means of strategy in conflict, not religious expression.no matter what happens, they win.
the mosk creates a physical tangable claim to what ever region it is built in.
if it is destroyed, despite it not being used or even remotely holy, it is a great recruitement tool for jihadis, and piece of propaganda to play on the sympathies of the ill informed compassionate. - 1 year ago
