The Free Sinai movement is in the process of mobilizing popular and
revolutionary forces to demolish Dayan Rock, according to the movement’s
general coordinator, who called it “the rock of shame.”

Mohamed Hindi said that the movement also aims to demolish all symbols of
Israel in Sinai, after the decision of the “Zionist entity” to demolish a
monument commemorating Egyptian soldiers in the Palestinian village of Beit
Nuba in the West Bank.

The Israeli authorities announced their intention to demolish the monument,
along with several other buildings, claiming they were built without
permits.

Hindi also noted that there has been coordination with the Beheira
Revolutionary Youth movement to besiege the tomb of Abu Hasira, a Jewish
monument in Beheira visited annually by Israeli pilgrims.

Dayan Rock was carved during the Israeli occupation of Sinai as a memorial
for 11 Israeli pilots killed in clashes, on orders from then Israeli Defense
Minister Moshe Dayan.

The Dayan Rock in the Sheikh Zuwayed was built without a license and should
be demolished for this reason, Hindi said.
