HEBRON (Ma’an)
— The Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron will be closed to Muslim worshipers on
Thursday and Friday, an official at the mosque told Ma’an Sunday.Hijazi
Abu Sneina told Ma’an the mosque would be open to Israeli settlers
during the two days of Rosh Hashanah, or Jewish New Year, but closed to
Muslims.
The Ibrahimi Mosque, believed to be the burial place of the prophet
Abraham, is located in central Hebron, a frequent site of tensions due
to the presence of 500 Israeli settlers in the Old City.
A 1997 agreement split Hebron into areas of Palestinian and Israeli control.
More than 500,000 Israeli settlers live in settlements across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, in contravention of international law.
