Mosque

Turkey’s Diyanet Foundation opened three mosques in Gaza ahead of Ramadan, part of Ankara’s broader effort to expand religious and political influence in the enclave.

The draft constitution also called for the "right of return" for refugees, caring for families of "martyrs, prisoners, and exiles," and reaffirming the PLO's position as representing Palestinians.

He is serving a life sentence in prison without parole - the first time a New Zealand court imposed a sentence requiring a person to spend the rest of their life in prison.

An attacker opened fire at the gates of the mosque before setting off a suicide bomb and killing at least 31 people in the deadliest attack of its kind in Pakistan's capital in more than a decade.

More than 170 others were wounded in the explosion, which occured after security guards attempted to block the attacker from entering the mosque compound.

"This hate comes from the far right, which threatens us as well as them.... we need to stand for each other,” Rabbi Moshe David HaCohen told The Jerusalem Post.

Palestinian officials say two mosque figures were barred from the Ibrahimi Mosque for 15 days amid ongoing tensions in Hebron.

Hours after the explosion, an armed group known as Saraya Ansar al-Sunnah claimed responsibility through an official statement.

Local official Issam Naameh told Reuters the blast took place during Friday noon prayers, typically the busiest time for mosques.

The blast occurred in Maiduguri, a city that has been at the heart of an Islamist insurgency waged by Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province, for nearly two decades.
