Occupied Jerusalem, SANA-The Israeli occupation forces ceiling the yard of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron city in the West Bank in an attempt to Judaize the place and change its features.
” The occupation took advantage of the aggression waged against the Palestinian people in Gaza Strip and closed the courtyard area and its yard with sheet metal, in an attempt to change the features of the Ibrahimi Mosque, “Wafa Agency quoted the Director of Hebron Endowments, Ghassan Al-Rajabi, as saying on Thursday.
Al-Rajbi added that such step considered a blatant assault against the sanctity and status of the Mosque, a provocation to the feelings of Muslims, and an assault on freedom of worship there, and comes within a series of ongoing Israeli violations throughout the governorate, including the Old City and the Ibrahimi Mosque.
He called on international human rights institutions and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to take urgent action to stop these violations and stand by their responsibilities, considering that the Ibrahimi Mosque has been added on the World Heritage List.
