The Occupation Closes the Ibrahimi Mosque for Two Days Under the Pretext of Jewish Holidays

SadaNews - Today, Wednesday, Israeli occupation forces closed the Ibrahimi Mosque to citizens until the evening of tomorrow, Thursday, under the pretext of Jewish holidays.

The Director of Waqf in Hebron, Amjad Karja, condemned the closure of the Ibrahimi Mosque, claiming it was to secure the celebration of settlers during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, considering it a blatant violation of its sanctity and a provocative assault on the right of Muslims to access their places of worship.

The occupation forces also intensified their military measures and closed all military checkpoints and electronic gates leading to the Ibrahimi Mosque to secure the settlers' celebrations of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot in the mosque and its courtyards.

Furthermore, for the third consecutive day, the occupation forces imposed a curfew on the neighborhoods of Jaber, Salamiyya, Ghayth, and Wadi al-Hussein adjacent to the "Kiryat Arba" settlement established on the citizens' lands and properties east of Hebron city, preventing schoolchildren from reaching their schools, and tightening military procedures in the Tal Rumida neighborhood, Shuhada Street, and Mount al-Rahma.
