From Wikipedia

The Al-Jarina Mosque or Al-Jerina Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الجرينة, romanized: Masjid al-Jarina, lit. 'Threshing Floor Mosque'; Hebrew: מסגד אל-ג'רינה), also known as the Great Mosque of Haifa (Arabic: مسجد حيفا الكبير, romanized: Masjid Haifa al-Kabir), was the main mosque of Haifa, Israel.

Built in 1775 CE, during the Ottoman rule of the Levant, the mosque was originally named al-Nasr Mosque (Arabic: مسجد النصر, lit. 'Victory Mosque'), in honor of Admiral Hassan Pasha al-Jazairli's victory over local ruler Daher al-Omar in August 1775. The name "Al-Jarina" was given due to its proximity to the open market square known as Jarina. The mosque was located in downtown Haifa on Natanzon Street (formerly al-Umayya Street), near the Sail Tower within Haifa's Governmental Center.

The mosque was struck by an Iranian missile during the Twelve-Day War while Muslim clerics were gathering inside on June 20, 2025; and injured worshippers and clerics. As of July 2025, the mosque was closed for worship.
