AL-KHALIL (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority on Sunday closed down the Ibrahimi Mosque in Al-Khalil city for two days to celebrate Jewish Passover Hebrew media reported.
The report said that the Azan (call for prayers) would be banned and the mosque would be totally closed for Muslims while Jews would be allowed to enter freely to celebrate their feast.
Jewish settlers living near the mosque frequently assault Palestinian citizens in the Old City of Al-Khalil where the mosque is located.
