Zionist occupation security forces, with the help of Israeli Mossad, have succeeded in stealing 11 Old Testament books, some dating back 1,000 years.

The holy books were written by copyist of the Scriptures around the world and arrived in the Syrian capital in different periods.

The ‘Israeli’ newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth claimed on Wednesday that the Jewish community took pride in the holy books and guarded them meticulously, helping them survive the political upheavals that took place in the city over the years.

The Damascus books are considered the world's most ancient Bibles after the Aleppo Codex, which compared to them is torn and shabby.

“The Rabin government decided to bring the books to Israel in 1995. The defense establishment, governmental organizations and immigrants from Syria took part in the secret operation,” Yedioth Ahronoth reported.

"It was one of the most important operations we participated in," Eliyahu Hasson, chairman of the community of ‘Damascus Jews in Israel’ was quoted as saying, who served as director-general of the Transportation Ministry at the time.

However, the people involved in the operation say that its execution was very costly, and was supervised by high-ranking Zionist officials.

“On their way from Israel to Syria, the ancient Bibles made a stop in New York. They arrived at a safe haven there, inside a grey container, without anyone guessing its priceless content,” the Zionist daily stated.

“The mystery surrounding the books' journey from Damascus has not been fully cleared, and some parts of the story cannot be published.”

Since being brought to the Occupied Territories, the books are being kept at the ‘National Library in the Givat Ram’ campus of the ‘Hebrew University of Jerusalem.’ They will be presented to the wide public on Wednesday evening in a festive event attended by guests from Zionist entity and abroad.
