The burial sites of Mordechai and Esther, central figures in the Jewish Purim story, have been desecrated by residents of Iran’s Hamadan province.
Residents burned Israeli flags and vandalized the area, creating widespread concerns within the local and international Jewish community.
This incident comes in the wake of a recent Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. They not only defiled the holy site but also sent a letter to the Ministry of Culture, requesting the conversion of the site into a “Museum of the crimes of the Zionist regime” and an office for “Palestinian resistance forces” in Iran. The letter falsely claims to have the consent of the local Jewish population, a claim vehemently denied by the community.
This is not the first time these revered tombs have come under attack. In May 2020, the site was targeted by arsonists, leading to global condemnation by various Jewish organizations. However, Iran’s government did not respond to calls for arrests or investigations.
