Palestine village gets mosque after 61 years

For the first time in 61 years, the Palestinian village of Akbara heard the call for prayer after finally being given permission to build a mosque to replace the one destroyed by Israel back in 1948.

Since Akbara, located 2.5 kilometers from Safad, was blown up and destroyed in 1948, no mosque was built and residents used to rely on the radio to know prayer times.

After some efforts of 25 years, the villagers established a new mosque in May and now the call for prayer ‘Allahu Akbar’ rises again while filling the villagers’ hearts with full glory.
