GAZA, Oct 15 (KUNA) -- Prime Minister of the Palestinian coalition government Rami Hamdallah vowed on Wednesday to renovate Abu Baker Al-Seddeeq Mosque that was set afire by Jewish settlers in town of Aqraba near Nablus on Tuesday.
The prime minister, while inspecting the partly charred mosque, said "we will rebuild Gaza strip and any other other targeted part of the homeland.
"We won't be demoralized by attacks of the Israeli occupation and the settlers; instead such attacks will boost our determination to defend our lands and sanctities."
"The burning of the mosque is a crime and the occupation government has not not brought the culprits to account, instead it let them carry on with killing and scorching the fields' crop and attacking our people and their properties," he added.
The arsonists had also painted graffiti on the mosque walls, with hostile terms against the Palestinians.
Premier Hamdallah urged the international community to protect the Palestinian peeople against such attacks that target their sanctities. (end)
