and it was last restored in 1963. It is the only mosque in Umm Tuba.
The Mufti claimed that Israeli authorities have been attempting to wipe out
historic Islamic sites in Palestine which is violation of all religious values

and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) which is charged with protecting human
cultural heritage around the world, and other international organizations to
prevent the demolition of the mosque.
