An-Najah News - Israeli occupation authorities continue their closure of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron city,for the second day in a row.

Muslim worshippers were denyed access of  to the site due to the Jewish holidays.

Israeli occupation authorities closed the mosque on Saturday night in order to make way for Jewish settlers to celebrate Rosh Hashanah holiday, or the Jewish New Year said Hifthi Abu Sneineh, the director of the mosque.

Israel divided the Ibrahimi Mosque in 1994 between Muslims and Jews following the infamous massacre committed by a Jewish settler which left over 50 people dead. 

An-Najah News - According to witnesses dozens of hardcore Jewish fanatic settlers, heavily guarded by Israeli police, broke into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

The hardcore in occupied Jerusalem come under the pretext of marking the Rosh Hashanah holiday.

They said that the fanatic settlers entered the holy compound in groups since early morning and performed rituals and provocative tours through the Islamic holy site.

Settler incursions into the holy mosque compound coupled with the systematic takeover of church property in Jerusalem are perceived as part of the plan to transform a multi-religious and multi-cultural city into a “reunified” Jewish city
