Hebron's Islamic Endowments Authority warned that Israeli occupation forces are intensifying measures to control the Ibrahimi Mosque and alter its historical and religious character, Shehab Wire reported. The authority cited the ongoing ban on the call to prayer at the mosque as part of a pattern of restrictions.
The Endowments Authority characterized the escalating procedures as an attempt to impose control over the sacred site and change its established status, according to the report.
