Israeli escalation in Hebron coinciding with the celebrations of Sarah Sabbath

Hebron, Palestine ·

Israeli forces imposed a tight siege on Hebron, closing the Ibrahimi Mosque, the Old City and several neighbourhoods. Thousands of settlers from settlements and outposts in Hebron and the West Bank arrived for the celebrations of what is called Sarah Sabbath, according to the Palestinian Ma'an news agency.

The Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, called the Cave of the Patriarchs by Jews, is a holy site shared by Muslims and Jews. It has been divided into two sections since 1997, and access to it has long been contested between Palestinians and Israelis.
