“Allenby gave orders that all the religious places of worship must be respected. When the Turks learned that your men would not fire on them they were sacrilegious enough to used their mosques as ammunition dumps. When your artillerymen discovered this they opened fire. This is what one of the largest mosques in Gaza looked like after the bombardment.”
-Lowell Thomas
“With Allenby in Palestine” (1919)
