Settlers start bulldozing in Hebron
Israeli settlers have begun land clearing in the center of Hebron in the southern West Bank, in preparation for establishing a new settlement outpost. This move was described by the Hebron Municipality head as an attempt to Judaize the Old City and the Ibrahimi Mosque, ahead of the Israeli elections scheduled for October 27. There are claims that Israel plans to fully seize the area, including altering the Ibrahimi Mosque from a Muslim religious site into a Jewish synagogue. The mosque is currently divided into separate sections for Jewish and Muslim worship, each with its own entrance. Palestinian authorities criticized these developments, stating that the occupation aims to seize property and displace the Arab population in the city. They warned of an escalation in Judaization efforts and the imposition of stricter security measures on Palestinians, amid Israeli control that surpasses certain areas with settler dominance.
