Israeli occupation forces closed the Ibrahimi Mosque to Palestinians on Saturday and shut down commercial shops in the Old City of Hebron, Shehab Wire reported. The military also tightened security measures throughout the area.
The closures marked an intensification of restrictions in the central West Bank city, where the mosque—a site sacred to Muslims and Jews—remains a flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
