Ibrahimi Mosque Closed
The occupation authorities closed the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron to Palestinian worshippers from Friday afternoon until Saturday evening and banned the call to prayer, to secure the “Shabbat Chayei Sarah” celebrations, which are expected to draw around 50,000 settlers. The closure coincided with a military deployment and tighter restrictions at checkpoints in the Old City and areas designated “H2.” The Islamic Waqf called on international institutions and UNESCO to intervene to protect the mosque. Palestinian officials noted that arrangements introduced after the 1994 massacre designate ten days each year when Muslims are barred from praying at the site. They urged residents to maintain a presence there once the closure ends.
