A historic mosque in Gaza has been destroyed in an Israeli strike. The Abu Salim Mosque in Deir Al-Balah, regarded as one of the Gaza Strip’s oldest religious landmarks, was reportedly reduced to rubble, with several Palestinians injured. The destruction comes amid continued Israeli strikes across Gaza and growing concerns over the damage to the region’s historic religious and cultural heritage.  

Deadly shooting outside the Islamic Center of San Diego has left three people dead after two teenage gunmen opened fire near the mosque complex in California. Victims included a security guard who police say may have prevented an even deadlier mass shooting inside the mosque. Authorities later found the two suspects dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Investigators are now examining possible anti-Islamic writings recovered from the suspects’ vehicle, while the Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined the investigation into a possible hate crime.
