Israeli occupation forces are preparing to close the Ibrahimi Mosque in occupied Hebron and seize all sections of the site during the Jewish holiday period, Shehab Wire reported. The move repeats an annual pattern that restricts Palestinian access to the mosque.
The closure enforces a longstanding policy that limits Palestinians' presence at the religious site, which sits in the heart of Hebron's Old City.
