Hundreds of Israeli Settlers Storm Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron

Hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron on Tuesday, as Israeli forces closed neighborhoods and streets in the city’s Old City.

The closures accompanied the settlers’ entry into the religious compound. The available details did not specify how long the restrictions remained in place.

The Ibrahimi Mosque is a major religious site in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank. It is sacred to both Muslims and Jews, who know it as the Cave of the Patriarchs.

No further details were provided about the incident, including whether there were injuries or arrests.
