Iranian missile damages oldest, second oldest mosque in Haifa

An Iranian missile strike, which hit Haifa on Friday afternoon, damaged the city's oldest and second-oldest mosque as it struck Haifa's downtown.

The strike damaged the Masjid Al-Saghir, built in 1761 by Zahir al-Umar, and the Al Jarina Grand Mosque of Haifa, built in 1775 but enlarged by the Ottoman Empire in 1901.

President Isaac Herzog took to X to condemn the "outrageous attack" on "a city that stands as a symbol of coexistence between Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Circassians, and Bahá’ís."

"They try to kill Israelis of all faiths—Muslims included. We will defend all Israelis. All faiths included," he said.
